The Comedy Nosh Returns To Max And Benny's Feb 28th
The ongoing stand-up comedy dinner-and-a-show begins its third year at Max and Benny's Restaurant in Northbrook on Feb 28.
The Comedy Nosh, which has kept audiences full of corned beef and laughter at Max and Benny’s Restaurant, in Northbrook, each month since February of 2017, returns to kick off a third year of fantastic stand-up comedy showcases.
The Comedy Nosh is one of a variety of special events, including family trivia nights, author nights and other seasonal and holiday related activities hosted by the classic Jewish deli and bakery located in the north suburbs of Chicago.
The show, which has occurred on the fourth Thursday of just about every month since its debut in 2017, is a monthly stand-up comedy dinner-and-a-show that continues a great tradition of comedy in Chicago, without the hassle and expense of traveling to and from the city. The Comedy Nosh strives to deliver the same caliber of stand-up comedy found in big cities like Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Comedians booked on The Comedy Nosh showcases are professionals that regularly appear throughout Chicago and across the nation.

“We book lineups that you would normally have to travel into the city to enjoy,” says co-producer Ricky March, who also runs Best Corporate Comedy. “These are very funny men and women who also perform at the Chicago comedy clubs,” says March, a Highland Park based comedian who co-produces The Comedy Nosh with Funnier By The Lake Comedy, also based in Highland Park.
Each Comedy Nosh begins with a three-course meal from a special menu, including soup or salad, an entrée and dessert, as well as a beverage of wine, beer or soft drink, and is followed the comedy showcase.
