The Comedy Bunker
Cheshire Cat Comedy presents The Comedy Bunker: an intimate show that brings together a hilarious lineup of touring and local stand-up comedians in downtown Madison at Hotel Indigo, a former paint factory-turned historic hotel. Patrons are encouraged to start their evening with a pre-show dinner at the Palette Bar & Grill adjacent to the hotel lobby. Palette is offering a special deal for showgoers: Get a free drink (beer, wine, or Palette cocktail) with the purchase of an appetizer when you show your ticket for the event!
Join us for a great night headlined by the one and only Kristen Toomey:
Kristen Toomey is a Chicago-based stand-up comedian who has headlined clubs across North America and the U.K. since starting comedy in 2008. She has appeared on The A.V. Club, which named her a “Chicago Original,” and her debut album “Mother. Fucker.” reached #1 on iTunes. Her credits include performances at major festivals such as Just for Laughs and the Netflix Is A Joke Festival, as well as appearances on Kevin Hart’s LOL! Network and Comedy In Color on Peacock. She has opened for comedians including Colin Quinn, Natasha Leggero, and Kevin Nealon. She has also hosted the Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards, becoming the first woman to host the ceremony solo. Her debut special, “Shriller,” is available on Apple TV and won "Best Special" at the 2025 Gazellies alongside Kristen's "Best Comedian" win.
With a feature performance by John Stage. Hosted by Sasha Rosser (winner, Madison's Funniest Comic Competition '25).
