The Blackout Diaries

A drinking Story telling comedy show

The Blackout Diaries is a comedy show where standup comedians and “regular” people (cops, firefighters, teachers — you get the picture) tell incredible true drinking stories. Then you, the audience, can probe even deeper by asking questions. The show has been a critics’ pick by most major Chicago papers and been featured on NPR, Comedy Central and more. Its host, Sean Flannery, was even named the best drunk in Chicago by The Chicago Reader. So head to The Newport Theater for some of the funniest drinking stories you’ve heard.
