Pride called. They’re taking over for two fabulous weeks!
From 25 July – 8 August, Boom Chicago is celebrating with a program of comedy, drag, theatre, stand-up, and yes… even chess.
Whether you’re searching for fierce performances or simply looking for something fun to do during Pride, there’s a seat waiting for you.
Our bar will be buzzing before and after every show, making it the perfect place to grab a drink, meet new people, or keep the show spirits going.
Come celebrate with us!
With the frenetic pace of someone who has had three nervous breakdowns before having their first coffee of the day, Neisser shows us that mental health is much more than a pretty phrase on Instagram or a passing “trend.” Between anecdotes and a biting critique of the trivialization of mental health, this show will make you laugh at the tragedies we all hide.
A Wild Night is an evening at Boom Chicago where everything comes together: performance, music, and unexpected moments. Join us as we take you into our world, a place that seduces, provokes, and unsettles, but never lets you go— featuring a line-up of sizzling performers and a programme packed with energy, inspiration, and extravaganza. It’s going to be WILD!
Celebrate Pride with an international lineup of hilarious stand-up comedians!
Join us for a special Pride edition of The Comedy Embassy, featuring four top comedians, a buzzing bar, and an audience ready for a great night of laughs.
Come with friends, come on a date, or come solo. Either way, you’ll leave laughing!
An Evening of Lesbian Love Songs and Other Lesbian Nonsense
A joyful line-up of queer female comedians brings you an evening packed with songs, stand-up, stories and sketches. From coming-outs and coming-ins to lesbian confusion, awkward questions, modern families and absurd stereotypes—nothing is off limits. Funny, heartfelt, sharp and gloriously self-deprecating. Disclaimer: There is a significant chance the audience will contain at least one ex. Possibly several.
Calling all queer cowboys, cowgals, and cowfolks – let’s dance!

Dress code: Queer Cowboy- don’t be shy, we’re going all out!
Seven women rehearse for a benefit performance. They also examine their romantic relationships. Between the lines you can see how they try to find their way within a patriarchal society.
