Freak Show - hosted by Sierra Kenyon

Freak Show is a true variety show, featuring stand up, oddball performances, music, alt and character comedians, drag, and batshit slideshows. Submit an act or buy tickets and watch it all unfold. Hosted by comedian and local lesbian Sierra Kenyon, the lineup is curated with both veteran performers and submitted acts alike. If you have always wanted to do drag as a slutty Chicago landmark or be gay and insane LIVE, this is your chance. Submitting an act: Anyone can submit, and we aim to show performers from different backgrounds. We can’t feature everyone who submits because it’s against Sierra’s religion to run a variety show for longer than an hour. Click the link below for more info/to fill out the form. Keep in mind this is low stakes, so have fun, be cringe, and be free.
