Speakeasy Comedy w/ Matt Banwart and Ken Hamlett

Two headliners for the price of one! Come see both comedians doing a full set and then riffing as a duo together at the end. Originally from Chicago, now based out of much warmer Austin, TX, Matt Banwart was host/founder of Roast Battle Chicago at Zanies for 3 years, where the show won the Best Indie Comedy Show in Chicago. Matt also has a #1 comedy album on Amazon, iTunes, and Sirius XM. Most recently, Matt had a mini special on LMAOF, and I am the co-host of the new online show You Laugh You Leave Live with YouTuber Jimmy Here (1.7M subscribers). Matt is known for his constant comedy writing and quick off-the-cuff moments live. While you might recognize him from TikTok or Instagram, where he has accumulated over 15million views, he is above all a stand up comedian and best live. Based out of Chicago, Ken Hamlett is the star of a PBS stand-up comedy documentary and was featured on the world-famous Just For Laughs comedy festival. He has opened for some of the biggest names in comedy, and most recently has been working regularly with Nimesh Patel and Nate Jackson on the road. His show "A Drunken Night Out" has been at Backline before and the crowd loved it! To purchase your tickets in advance, please use this link!
