'One Of The Sharpest Stand-ups In The Comedy World' Adds Joliet Show

JOLIET, IL —The marketing staff at the Rialto Square Theatre announced on Tuesday morning that Pat McGann will be at Rialto on Friday, May 17 for an 8 p.m. performance.

Tickets go on sale Friday, February 9 at 10 a.m. and the tickets will cost $50.25, $40.25 and $33.25. Additional fees apply when ordering online through Ticketmaster.

According to the Rialto's press release:

"Pat McGann is quickly rising as one of the sharpest stand-ups in the comedy world. A relative latecomer to the scene, Pat began stand-up at the age of 31 after realizing he was not very good at selling packaging. He hustled his way to become the house emcee at Zanies Chicago, where he distinguished himself as especially adept at working the crowd.

"A father of 3 young children, Pat’s appeal stems from his quick wit & relatable take on the family. In 2017, McGann began touring as the opening act for Sebastian Maniscalco, moving with him from clubs to theaters, and to arenas, including 4 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden.

"McGann’s relatively short, but impressive resume, includes performances on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Montreal’s famed Just For Laughs Festival, Gilda’s LaughFest, The Great American Comedy Festival, and the Nashville Comedy Fest. McGann still calls Chicago home."
