This in from The Lincoln Lodge...
The Lincoln Lodge is proud to present nationally touring headliner Ben Kronberg. Ben’s dark, cerebral, and silly one-liners have earned him appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, and “John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show”. Ben has starred in his own Comedy Central Half Hour and had a successful run on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”. He has also made acting appearances on the MTV series “I Just Want My Pants Back” and the popular web series “I Hate Being Single”.
Ben will be the first performer in a new series of events at Evanston’s SPACE (1245 Chicago Ave, Evanston, IL 60202).
The Lincoln Lodge and SPACE have created a new regularly occurring show called “The Lincoln Lodge in SPACE!” Once a month, The Lincoln Lodge will bring some of the country’s top stand-up comedians to the North Shore.
The Lincoln Lodge, now in its fifteenth season, is the nation’s longest running independent stand-up comedy show. Each week, The Lincoln Lodge features the best stand-up comics in Chicago, a special variety act, and a hilarious Man on the Street segment. Regular shows are every Friday at 8:30 PM at the SubT Lounge (2011 W. North Ave), with a different lineup each week.
The show is 21+, and there is NO DRINK MINIMUM.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $22 dollars for a table seat for the Ben Kronberg show at SPACE.
Doors open at 7pm, and show starts at 8pm. The show is ALL AGES. A full food and drink menu is available during the show with bar & waitstaff service. The show lasts approximately 90 minutes.

Seen on Saturday: Quake at Sherman and Main
.
![]() |
. Have you been to Quake yet? Its grand opening was only less than a month ago, but it has already brought much happiness to at least these boys. It warmed the cockles of my heart listening and watching them geek out on the toys on Saturday, September 6. Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary came to mind as I watched them. More about the shop is on the Chicago Toy Collector's blog. (It's not your eyes. I have blurred the boys' faces, oh, because it seems like the right thing to do.) . |
