Chicago Comedy Search: Live at the Regal – Fundraiser Kickoff
Pressure Point Studios | Chicago, IL
Thursday, March 12th
8:00 PM – 12:00 AM
Join the Avalon Regal Theater owner for an unforgettable night of laughter, culture, and purpose as we officially launch the Chicago Comedy Search (prod. by comedians Damon Williams and Correy Bell) — while raising awareness of the historic Avalon Regal Theater (ART)- a Chicago Landmark that helped shape Black history.
We will feature 5 local comedians to perform their "hot 5" live as an audition for our upcoming TV show.
We’ve also confirmed a Special Invited Guest Performer for the launch — and the announcement is coming soon.
Stay tuned...
The Avalon and Regal Theater brand have long stood as cultural icons in Chicago — amplifying legendary voices and unforgettable performances.
Now, we are restoring and reactivating that brand — not just as a theater, but as a content engine for Chicago talent.
The Avalon Regal Theater revival is centered on producing original live and digital content that creates real entertainment jobs and career pathways for live performers, writers, producers, camera operators, editors, stage managers, and other entertainment professionals from Chicago’s neighborhoods.
Through the Chicago Comedy Search and future Live at the Regal productions, we are creating:
Content will be developed and captured throughout the restoration process — documenting the journey, activating the space, and ensuring talent opportunities begin now.
Your attendance directly supports both the physical restoration of the Avalon Regal Theater and the development of this new content and employment pipeline for Chicago’s creative community.
At the same time, this event marks the official launch of the Chicago Comedy Search — our first series spotlighting emerging comedic voices and building the talent foundation for future Live at the Regal programming.
One lucky attendee will win:
8 Hours of Professional Studio Time Donated by Pressure Point Studios in support of the Avalon Regal Theater campaign.
