Got a baby? Haven’t seen a date night since the second trimester?
Come to a stand-up comedy show made for exhausted grown-ups—where your baby is not only allowed, but basically the guest of honor.
The BYOB Comedy Hour is coming to the Madison Children’s Museum on September 5, featuring a lineup of comedians who are all either parents themselves or people who work with children (teachers, librarians, childcare pros…the folks who know the chaos firsthand).
BYOB = Bring Your Own Baby (boobs, bottles, and buggies welcome—yes, we have stroller parking).
Laugh at real adult jokes instead of silently screaming into a burp cloth. Bring the baby—they don’t understand the dirty jokes anyway.
With your headliner for the evening:
Chastity Washington is a comedian with more than 25 years of experience, bringing her dynamic humor to colleges and clubs nationwide. An NBC Diversity finalist and HBO Comedy Wings winner, she has appeared on BET, the Just for Laughs Festival, and Martha’s Vineyard Comedy Fest. She is a regular at the Laugh Factory and Comedians You Should Know, headlines Zanies Chicago, and has opened for Tommy Davidson, David Mann, Charlie Berens, and Roy Wood Jr.
Tickets: $25 Babies: FREE (recommended for babies under 18 months due to adult language)
