About Us
Similar to the "General Store" of old, The WIP Theater caters specifically to Edison Park. Whereas theaters or similar venu es located in tourist markets can get away with the same acts and shows every week, we will serve our neighborhood by rotating shows, styles and genres.
Joe Kilgallon is back for a one night show! Thursday, July 9th at 8pm! 

Born and raised in Chicago, Joe Kilgallon has been performing stand-up comedy since 2006. With a background in improv and sketch writing, Joe fuses well-polished material with riffing and crowd work to construct a perfectly well-rounded act. His in-your-face style and charismatic charm help Joe paint stories drawn heavily from personal experience and his Chicago-Irish roots, making him an instant favorite and the type of comedian everyone wants to share a drink with after the show.
 
In 2011 Joe hit the road hard performing in cities across the country including L.A., New Orleans, Washington D.C., St.Louis, Cleveland, and even a stop in Toronto, Canada.
 
Joe is also a proud member of the Comedians You Should Know (www.comediansyoushouldknow.com), a group of six Chicago based stand-up comedians who released an album in February of 2011 that debuted at number one on the Itunes comedy charts.

PRESTON LACY Live at The WIP! From the Jackass film franchise, his stunts were some of the most memorable in current television or movie history. Preston has been touring nationally and we're so excited he's headlining Black Box Comedy! July 10th and 11th at 10pm!
