Toomey will be joined by Chicago comics Jeanie Doogan and DJ Rybski.

Jeanie Doogan started her career at the tender age of five when she quickly learned that as the youngest of eight children she needed a hook if she ever wanted to be fed, bathed, or have her existence acknowledged in any way. The South Side native has entertained audiences at colleges, casinos, and corporate events, and is a regular at venues such as Zanies Comedy Clubs, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Bar. She was highlighted in Chicago Parents Magazine’s Four of Chicago’s Funniest: Stand Up Parents, and was featured on Team CoCo’s House All Star Showcase, and Nick Jr.’s Moms’ Night Out debut stand up special.

She has set herself apart with her quick observations and no-apology take on teaching, parenthood, and American culture. Her sharp wit draws on her experiences growing up on the South side of Chicago and 20 years as a public school teacher to deliver comedy that reaches audiences of all walks of life.

DJ Rybski hails from the South Side of Chicago. He was invited to perform on the Nateland Live showcase in Nashville, Tennessee, and has recorded a set for OFTV at the Den Theatre in Chicago. With over 10 million views online, he has been dubbed the best Irish-Polish-Korean comedian in the Midwest. He is a paid regular at Zanies Chicago, Zanies Rosemont, Laugh Factory, Chicago Improv and The Comedy Vault.
