Comedians For This Month’s Showcase:
Kat Diaz:
Kat Diaz hails from the rough streets of Des Moines, Iowa, but has called Chicago home for the last 12 years. Her humor can be described as a dry piece of toast buttered with wordplay and served with physical act outs that make you think “I guess not all Latinas can dance”. Kat has trained at The Second City and has appeared at Laugh Factory, Den Theatre and the Latina Comedy Festival. She currently produces Buena Onda at Lincoln Lodge every third Friday of the month at 7 pm.
Trisitan A. Smith:
Tristan A. Smith is stand-up comedian born and raised in Chicago. Tristan recently made the jump to doing comedy full-time and has a comedy special on YouTube. He is also excited to be performing at Copernicus Center this evening. For more on where he’ll be performing in the future, visit wherestrist.com.
Mert Narlson:
More than just a pretty face, Mert is a pretty brain as well. Drawing from a background in acting, Mert commands the stage with infectious energy. He is described as “organized chaos” by both his audiences and employers. Mert has performed at Zanies, Comedy Bar, The Den, Milwaukee Improv, York Fringe festival and much more, so- so much more.
Mike Bergeron:
Mike Bergeron is a Stand-Up Comedian that is confident in his insecurity. He produces a monthly comedy show here in Chicago called “Laugh, After Death”, focusing on showcasing the best Alternative Comedy in the city.
