Overview
For one night, Stella’s Art Gallery transforms into an intimate pop-up comedy club featuring Chicago powerhouse Kristen Toomey.
A hidden art gallery in downtown Willoughby…
A nationally touring headliner…
And a room full of people ready to laugh their way into the weekend.
Kristen Toomey is one of the sharpest stand-ups working today. Her comedy is fearless, honest, and wildly energetic. It's the kind of performance that feels less like watching a show and more like being in the room when something special is happening.
She’s appeared at Netflix Is A Joke Festival, SXSW, Just For Laughs and top clubs like The Stand, Laugh Factory, and Zanies. Her debut album hit #1 on iTunes, her stand-up clips have pulled 20M+ views online, and she recently made her talk show debut on Sherri.
But here’s the part that matters most:You get to see her in a room that only fits 50 people.
These Henceforth Comedy shows are built for that exact feeling — the night you tell friends about later because you saw a killer comic up close before everyone else.
Arrive early, wander the gallery, grab a drink, and settle into a show that feels more like a secret gathering than a typical comedy night.

Then we dim the lights and turn the room over to the comedians.
She was recently named “Best Comedian in Chicago” three years in a row, her special “Shriller” was voted Best Special by Comedy Gazelle, and she became the first woman to host the Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards solo.
Her stand-up has appeared on:
Kevin Hart’s LOL Network • Peacock • Don’t Tell Comedy • Comedy Dynamics
She’s also opened for comics like Colin Quinn, Natasha Leggero, Kevin Nealon, Kyle Kinane, and Chris Redd.
Her style?
Bold, raunchy, brutally honest, and ridiculously funny.

Join Stella’s Art Gallery for a show celebrating art inspired by music.
We all have that music that energizes us -from Classical, Country, to Rap or Rock-n-Roll. Listen to music that gets those creative juices going and create your masterpiece!
This show is about friendship, connection, and co-creation. Whether your collaboration is seamless, messy, intuitive, or experimental, we want to see how two minds intertwine to make something neither could create alone.
