Comedy at Madame Zuzu's Kicks Off 2nd Year of Showcases on September 9th

Comedy returns to Madame Zuzu's Teahouse, in the Ravinia Business District of Highland Park, Friday, September 9th with a lineup of professional stand-up comedians for Highland Park based Funnier By The Lake Comedy's FREE showcase. Madame Zuzu's is an eclectic, and definitely funky venue owned by Smashing Pumpkins founder, Billy Corgan.

"Our Zuzu's shows are the only live stand-up comedy in Highland Park, and they are really fun to produce," says Funnier By The Lake Comedy's, Larry Bloom, who produces FBTL comedy showcases throughout Lake County, and performs regularly in Chicago and the suburbs. "Madame Zuzu's is small, so it fills up quickly, and the audiences have been great. They arrive ready to laugh, and we bring the funny," added Bloom.

All of the FBTL comedy showcases at Madame Zuzu's are free to attend. There is no cover charge, leaving audience members with extra cash for the sandwiches, treats and the vast selection of teas for sale at the venue, as well as merchandise from the individual performers.

Funding for marketing the showcases and paying the performers is provided by corporate sponsors. The September 9th event is sponsored by ATI Graphics, Inc. of Highland Park, Improv Playhouse of Libertyville and Highland Park, and Crossroads Car Wash of Highland Park.

Producer Bloom always strives to create lineups with diversity as well as an equal number of men and women performers.
