An afternoon of live comedy, music, food and drinks in the heart of River North
CHICAGO, IL — CannaLaugh, the Chicago-based production company behind the city’s cannabis-culture comedy events, will host its next show on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Fame Club Chicago, 157 W. Ontario St. The event runs from 3 to 9 p.m. Fat Nugs Magazine joins the event as its Official Media Partner.
The six-hour show brings together live stand-up, a live musical act, food and drinks under one roof. The comedian lineup and musical act will be announced in the coming weeks. Fame, a two-level River North supper club and nightclub known for its chandeliers, booth seating and full-service bars, sets the scene.
Guests can expect a full afternoon-into-evening experience: sets from comedians who know the culture, live music between acts, good food and drinks throughout, and plenty of room to hang out, meet new people and connect with the brands that support the community.
The show comes as legal cannabis keeps growing. Twenty-four states and Washington, D.C., now allow adult use, and more than half of Americans live in a state where it’s legal. As the industry grows, CannaLaugh is building something the community has been missing: a place to come together, laugh and celebrate the culture out in the open.
For a lot of people, cannabis has been part of everyday life for years, but there are still few public spaces built around it. CannaLaugh events are designed to change that, giving the community a welcoming night out where everyone is in on the joke.
Fat Nugs Magazine (FNM) covers cannabis culture, lifestyle and the people behind the industry. As Official Media Partner, FNM will cover the show and share the night with its readers.
“I’ve been in cannabis for nine years, and there still aren’t a lot of places where our community can just go out, laugh and be themselves,” said Andrew Haddad, Founder and CEO of CannaLaugh. “That’s what CannaLaugh is for. Having Fat Nugs Magazine with us on this one means a lot. They’ve always shown love to the culture, and Fame gives us a real River North room to do it right. Every sponsor on this list believed in what we’re building early, so go show them all some love.”
“Comedy and cannabis have always gone together,” Haddad said. “Our shows are about bringing every part of this community into one room, the people who grow it, sell it, advocate for it and just enjoy it, and giving them a reason to laugh together.”
