Laura is back and older than ever. Join her as she looks back on her 29 years of life through stand-up comedy, music of all genres and self- deprecation.
After performing iterations of this show for the past four years, Laura is thrilled to be bringing her life back to the stage. Laura is a recent winner of Best Comedian (Non-Standup) from the Chicago Reader. She has been at The Annoyance, iO, The Second City, Zanies, The Laugh Factory and Lincoln Lodge. Steve Cochran also deemed her a "Comedian To Watch."
Come see stand up comedy and live music weaved together in a way that will make you wonder, "Was that really necessary?"
The show will also feature the blessing of world famous music director, Micky York. The sassiest stand-up in Chicago, Joe Nicastro, will open. What more could you ask for? Probably a lot- but that doesn't matter. Just come!

Laura Dellis
Laura Dellis hails from Minnesota although she believes she is actually a human muppet and created by Jim Henson. She performs in her one woman shows, Halfway to Fifty and A Very Dellis Holiday to pretty cool acclaim throughout the year at Davenports Piano Bar and Cabaret. These shows combine stand up comedy and singing. Halfway to Fifty was nominated for a BroadwayWorld award for “Best Solo Performance” and her performance in it got her a nomination for Best Comedian (non-standup) from the Chicago Reader. She performs improv with Offbrand Funeral Band throughout theaters in Chicago and is thrilled to be apart of Motorcycle Rocketship Sketch Show at The Annoyance. She has been seen in A Christmas Carol at Drury Lane and She Loves Me at Blank Theater Company where she was nominated for a Jeff Award. She's repped by Actor's Talent Group.
