FAQ

  • Laugh at the Library is based in Chicago and the surrounding 100 or so miles, but we can help produce a great comedy show anywhere in the United States.

  • Typically Laugh at the Library shows run 60 minutes, but we can shorten or lengthen depending on your needs.

  • Our shows are appropriate for adults of all sensibilities. No swear words, no politics, and no bedroom material. We recommend ages 16+ as children can have a hard time sitting quietly through a comedy show (and content can include kid-unfriendly topics like the Tooth Fairy not being real). The MPAA would rate our shows G or PG.

  • Because all our shows are put together custom for you, we can work within your budget constraints.

  • For most libraries, the show goes something like this:

    6:30 pm: Audience is seated

    6:45 pm: The first comic, the evening’s host, does a set and introduces the featured comic

    6:55 pm: The second comic, the feature, performs

    7:15 pm: The host introduces the third comic, the headliner

    7:45 pm: The host thanks the audience for attending. Our comics stay to shake hands and take photos with your patrons

  • We have an impressive rolodex of stand-up comedians with every credit you could hope for. Laugh at the Library’s roster includes established pros who have specials; comics who are regulars at big-name clubs like Zanies and Laugh Factory; and up-and-comers we’ve discovered. The one thing they all have in common? They work clean.
