Rock Island Speakeasy Hosting Two Hilarious Comedy Shows This Weekend
The Speakeasy in downtown Rock Island is set to present two comedy shows this Saturday. The first will be a stand up comedy show with headliner Marz Timms from Chicago. It will also feature fellow Chicago comedian Matty Robinson and two local comics, Luke Swanson and Austin Ingels. Doors open at 6 and the show begins at 7 pm. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 the day of the show.
Marz Timms is an internationally known actor/comedian who plays the character Van Howard on the NETFLIX original series “EASY” seasons 1 & 2. You also can see him in Season 3 of the HBOMax comedy “SOUTH SIDE”. Marz voices the character Jax in the popular Mortal Kombat video game and is the former In-Arena Host for the Chicago Bulls where he performed for 34,000 screaming fans at home games!
As a standup comedian his style has been called “nerdy, yet urban,” and Marz has performed with well-known comics such as Tracy Morgan, Guy Torry, Nikki Glaser, Eddie Griffin and Louie Anderson.
Later that evening, the theater is thrilled to welcome back the wildly popular improv comedy show from Chicago, PIMPROV!
You’ve seen the flashy suits and jewelry so bright that a blind man can see it shining. So ask yourself who is more entertaining than a pimp? PIMPROV has been a hugely successful improv show in Chicago for many years! The show revolves around four pimps who took comedy classes at Second City on accident. The group lacks political correctness, and outrageous costumes are only part of the reason they are so popular! You must be 21 or older to attend.
This show is critically acclaimed across North America! Now Magazine Toronto called it “Ho’larious”; “The Chicago Tribune said “Politically incorrect, and funny!”; LA Times said “More than traditional improv.” and the Chicago Reader said “Highly Recommended!”
Doors open at 9:30 and show at 10 pm. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door, and both shows may be reserved through the Circa ’21 ticket office located at 1828 3rd Ave. in Rock Island or by calling 309-786-7733, Ext. 2
Come laugh your Saturday night away with these two great comedy shows!
