Due to popular demand, The Den Theatre announced a third stand-up performance for comedian/actress Hannah Einbinder (the TV show Hacks) on Saturday, July 16, at 7 p.m. on The Heath Mainstage, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave.
The July 15 shows are sold out.
Einbinder—a member of the LGBTQ+ community—stars in the HBO Max comedy series Hacks, opposite Jean Smart as Ava—a young comedy writer who, after a Twitter controversy, lands the only job she can find: writing for legendary stand-up comic "Deborah Vance" (Smart) in Las Vegas. Einbinder's performance in Hacks earned her a few nominations, including Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.
Tickets ($18-$35) for the added performance are currently on sale at TheDenTheatre.com or 773-697-3830.
