Due to popular demand, Steppenwolf Theatre has added two additional performances of Emmy award-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael’s new solo show on Friday-Saturday, Nov. 4-5, at 10 p.m. as part of Carmichael’s upcoming stand-up engagement in Steppenwolf’s Downstairs Theater, 1650 N. Halsted St.
Hot on the heels of Carmichael’s Emmy win for the smash hit HBO Special Rothaniel—widely hailed as a groundbreaking and singular achievement—the openly LGBTQ+ comedian will perform in Chicago for the first time since 2016.
The new show, “Jerrod Carmichael: Ari told me I lack focus,” will make its debut in Steppenwolf’s intimate Downstairs Theater this fall as a phone-free experience for audiences. Phones, smartwatches and accessories will not be permitted in the performance space.
Tickets for the added performances are now on sale at http://steppenwolf.org/jerrod or 312-335-1650.
