Live Comedy with Reena Calm at the Southside Junction Tap House

8pm Southside Junction Tap House

Headlining Reena Calm is one of the most respected and requested comedians in the Midwest, and is now a nationally touring headliner. Pulling from a lifetime of questionable choices, Reena’s material is autobiographical, silly, and charmingly inappropriate.

Living out of a tricked out Prius, this pun-slinger travels the country on her signature #Calmedy tours. She’s on a mission to make people laugh in all 50 States (just a few left to go).

She’s opened for legends like Arsenio Hall, Laurie Kilmartin, and Eddie Pepitone, to name a few. Reena has been a frequent guest on WGN Radio, was on the Doug Loves Movies podcast, and was named Comic of The Week on The Jackie & Laurie Show.

Check out her book “Once A Pun A Time…Legend of a Sighs Queen” on Amazon. Reena’s been called “everything comedy should be” by a guy in Wisconsin, “also terrific” by the Chicago Tribune, and “NOT a disappointment” by her mother. She hopes to do a show in your town soon, and would love to sleep in your finest parking lot.

Featuring Comedy from Chelsea Hlasnick & Nate Cesco!
Hosted by Cody Cannon!

$5 At the Door! Show starts at 8pm.
