Queer Comedy at Zanies Welcomes James Adomian

Queer Comedy at Zanies has made no secret about its intentions to prove that queer comedy belongs with mainstream comedy. So it's with extreme pride that we present a man who was a finalist on Last Comic Standing, has headlined SXSW and opened for the great Joan Rivers and made appearances on everything from Comedy Bang, Bang to Conan-- James Adomian .

Queer Comedy at Zanies has been named the Advocate.com‘s "9 LGBT Friendly Comedy Shows You Should Be Supporting," Timeout Chicago‘s "Critic's Pick," The Redeye's "Do" and included on Chicago Reader's "The Agenda." On Tuesday March 26th at 8:30pm, join us as we welcome headliner James Adomian , hosted by Candy Lawrence and featuring Adam Guerino .

Headlined by James Adomian. Adomian is a daredevil dancing queen renowned for the many masks he wears and his fiery populist satire -- but don't you know deep down he's just a kitten? Adomian was a top 10 finalist on Last Comic Standing (NBC,) has headlined SXSW, opened for Joan Crawford, and appeared on Comedy Bang, Bang (IFC,) Children's Hospital (Adult Swim,) Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, The Late Late Show (CBS,) Face To Busy (Comedy Central,) Wordgirl (PBS,) and The Onion Radio News. His comedy album Low Hanging Fruit was released to critical acclaim in 2012. Check him out performing at festivals, theatres, dive bars, party schools and radical political events across North America or watch his hit videos on Funny or Die, Atom and Youtube.

Hosted by Candy Lawrence. More like Comedy Lawrence! Hilarious, confident and eccentric, she will captivate you with her physcial comedy, off- beat observations and her cool new dance moves. She began her comedy career improvising at the IO Theater and the Playground Theatre, but that was "Judith Light years ago." She has also performed in the Chicago Sketchfest, NYC Sketchfest, and The Upright Citizens Brigade as one half of the comedy duo, $The Money Kids$. When she isn't collecting dreamcatchers, Candy can be seen performing stand-up at various alternative comedy venues including Zanies, Mayne Stage, The Lincoln Lodge and Chicago Underground Comedy among others. She was also apart of the Just For Laughs festival in Chicago and was recently named one of the top comedians in Chicago by the Chicago Magazine Candy generates one laugh per second and she would like to thank Celine Dion for teaching her everything she knows about comedy.
