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 Jerry Tran:
Based in Chicago, Jerry Tran is a stand-up comedian recognized for his meticulously crafted joke-writing and a stage presence that balances endearing charm with sharp wit. He has quickly become a mainstay in the Midwest circuit and beyond, notably earning a spot on Cold Tea Collective’s list of "North American Asian Comedians to Watch." Tran’s performance credits include high-profile festivals such as SF Sketchfest, the Milwaukee Comedy Festival, and the NBC Second City Break Out Comedy Festival. Locally, he is a familiar face at the Laugh Factory Chicago and has recently been associated with the East of West comedy showcase, a production that highlights the diverse perspectives of Asian American comedians. In 2026, he recorded a social for LMAOF.
