Solo Sunday is thrilled to present a wide variety of productions and performers, from Chicago and beyond. You may take in an acclaimed touring fringe festival show, a stunning musical performance, a riveting account of Chicago history, a hilarious comedic monologue, a heartbreaking family story, and so much more.
On select Sundays (and some Saturday afternoons!), we gather in an pop-up theater upstairs at Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro in North Center for solo performance in a space so intimate and personal that shows feel like private performances.
Arrive early for a pre-show meal from the bistro's acclaimed menu, often accompanied by a live Irish music session, or make an evening of it with post-show drinks and conversation.
Never miss a Solo Sunday show! Subscribe to our newsletter for a monthly-ish email so you can be the first to hear about upcoming shows.

Susie An is an editor at WBEZ. You can also catch her doing stand-up comedy around the region. LaTanya Lane is a performer and writer and enjoys few things more than a good laugh. Sania Zaidi chose to moonlight in the wildly lucrative world of stand-up comedy. If that isn’t proof of questionable life choices, nothing is. Catch her being a silly goose on the loose.
