An evening of laughs with headlining comedian LUCIA WHALEN and friends! Doors open at 6pm. Show starts at 7:00pm.
Lucia Whalen is a Chicago-born and bred comedian, writer, and concerned citizen.
Her clever, feminist perspective paired with a shameless storytelling style makes her a favorite to audiences all over the country. She has opened for some of the biggest comics working today, including Dave Attell, Janeane Garofalo, Atsuko Okatsuka, Chad Daniels, Langston Kerman, and Stavros Halkias among others, and has performed at clubs and venues all over the midwest, including Steppenwolf, Comedy on State, The Den Theater, The Green Mill, the Chicago Laugh Factory, and Zanies. Lucia is a cast member at the Lincoln Lodge and host at Cole's Bar in Chicago every Wednesday. She's been featured at Limestone Comedy Festival, Asheville Comedy Festival, 10,000 Laughs, Flyover Comedy Festival, and more. Lucia has contributed to The New Yorker and is a cohost of the environmental history podcast What a Waste.
Just to be clear, she is not the Lucia Whalen who called the cops on Henry Louis Gates in 2009
Commonwealth Sanctuary is Cincinnati's home for exquisitely curated live entertainment. Each week we bring you hilarious stand-up comedians, intimate concerts, unique theater productions, live podcast recordings, and so much more.
Commonwealth Sanctuary is housed in the recently renovated, historic former Tower Methodist Church, originally built in 1914. It is no longer a church! Rather, we have converted the purpose of this beautiful old building to bringing you exquisitely curated live entertainment. We have, however, gone to great lengths to preserve the original character of the building while updating for it's new purpose. We retained all the original stained glass windows and custom-built, curved pews.
We have added a full concession stand with draft beer and wine, as well as many canned drinks, including cocktails and Delta-9 beverages. We partner with local Dayton, KY business Kate's Catering for our prepared food options. We have added full lighting and sound systems, as well as a complete broadcast-quality video system for recording events and live podcasts. We are exclusively partnered with Third Rule Media to produce our recorded content.
