Celebrate Pride Month with the most fabulous, fearless, and funny queer Jewish comics in Chicago (and one delightful non-Jewish guest). Chutzpah Pride is back with a fantastic lineup of Chicago’s funniest Queer Jews. Hosted by Madison Burman and featuring Dana Kaye, Gabby Gabe Sklan, Delilah Orizaba, Quinn James and special guest Lio Cunduff.

🎤 Hosted by Madison Burman (She/Her) Madison Burman is a born and bred Chicago-based comedian. She has performed at Second City, the iO, Blanket Fort, and the Lincoln Lodge. A chronic over-sharer, she loves talking about her eccentric family, toils of the dating scene, and discussing how all Muppets are canonically Jewish. Follow her @SuchisMadison

🌟 Dana Kaye (She/Her) Dana Kaye is a comic, mother, and lifelong Chicagoan. She performs at venues all over the city, including Laugh Factory, Second City, Zanies, and The Lincoln Lodge. Follow Dana on Instagram and TikTok @DanaKaye23

🌟 Delilah Orizaba (She/Her) Delilah Orizaba is a full-time therapist and part-time standup. You’ve seen her perform at The Future of Comedy Festival, The Latina Comedy Festival, and Zanies. She’s a Scorpio sun; Capricorn Moon and Rising. Follow Delilah @isntthatdelilah

🌟 Gabby Gabe Sklan (He/She/They) Gabby Gabe Sklan is a comedian, clown, producer, and host of the Bad Boyhavior podcast whose comedy career started in Wild Western Massachusetts before they came careening into Chicago’s comedy scene and become a regular on local showcases at Lincoln Lodge, IO, and The Annoyance. Known for slow-burning stories and earnest gags, Gabe always delivers a charismatic and hilarious performance. You can expect every subject to be discussed with all the respect it deserves, which in some cases is none at all. Follow Gabe at @gabegabegabegabegabegabe

🌟 Quinn James (Oy/Vey/They) Quinn brings a nostalgic yet edgy vibe to the stage, blending Y2K humor with Gen Z irony. Whether it’s their physical comedy, unique storytelling, or captivating stage presence, Quinn leaves every audience wanting more. They’ve been lighting up stages across Chicago and beyond, including the Loons on the Lake Festival!. Follow Quinn at @quinnjamescomedy

💫 Special Guest: Lio Cunduff
