    Special Event
When Auggie takes the stage, audiences across the country quickly realize that they’re in for an evening of riveting, take-no-prisoners stand-up comedy. During Auggie’s set, pop culture and political targets are dissected piece by piece into intelligently written manic rants. His seamless rapid fire style has developed a loyal following across the country. He has spent most of the last two decades keeping a constant road schedule honing his craft and creating a truly memorable, relevant, and constantly evolving live experience.

Keeping a continuous road schedule of clubs across the nation, Auggie introduced himself to a new legion of fans in January of 2004, with a now legendary appearance on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show. The morning was a mix of signature rants and brilliant improv highlighting his sharp point-of-view. His outstanding debut has become one their most replayed treasures.

This led to performing in theaters across the country on the very popular Bob & Tom Comedy Tour, where audiences quickly became aware that the only thing better then listening to Auggie on the radio was sharing the energy he creates in his live performance.

  • Joe Fernandez
    December 07, 2019 at 8:00 PM Joe Fernandez
    Joe is a half-Cuban half-Irish (or Cubish) comedian and actor.  Growing up in Texas he had an affinity for the sport of baseball and dreamed of one day playing for the Houston Astros. When his body didn’t grow up with his dreams, he moved to the performing arts where muscles aren’t necessary.
     
    Joe went to Marquette University where he received the Chris Farley Scholarship for his creativity and positive use of humor. While there he performed in numerous plays, including "Quid Pro Quo" which went on to be performed at the Kennedy Center as part of the American College Theatre Festival.
     
    Since moving to Chicago, he has been a member of improv teams at iO and the Playground theater, but his primary focus has been stand-up comedy. Over the past 10 years he’s taken his off-stage persona of intolerable presence and morphed it into his on-stage persona of lovable jerk.  He satirizes through absurdity and is facetious to a fault.
     
    He has performed in numerous comedy festivals such as Chicago TBS Just For Laughs Fest, the Boston Comedy Fest, the Memphis Comedy fest, Chicago Sketchfest and he was a finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award.
     
    Has he also appeared in a Cracker Barrel commercial and an episode of Chicago Med where he improvised yelling at Oliver Platt? Yes he has.
     
    Anyhow if you're not in the same area as Joe, you can always hear him on his podcast 30 Characters and follow his consistent campaign for office as Masturbation Jenkins, a murderous hobo who constantly is running for whatever public office is vacant. @mj4gov on twitter.

  • Ben Gleib
    December 14, 2019 at 8:00 PM Ben Gleib
    There are many people running for president in 2020, but only one of them was called by TBS one of “the funniest comedians working today."
    Ben Gleib is the host and head writer of the Emmy nominated "Idiotest" on NETFLIX and Game Show Network, and was one of the stars of “Chelsea Lately” on E! His hilarious standup special on SHOWTIME "Ben Gleib: Neurotic Gangster" is currently on AMAZON PRIME.
    You may have seen one of his many appearances on the “Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, "@Midnight" on Comedy Central, guest starring in the new series “American Princess” on Lifetime, or voicing Marshall the Sloth in “Ice Age” and Dali in “The Book of Life.”
    He recently created the “Telethon for America” a voter turnout event which he hosted with Olivia Munn, featuring Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Chelsea Handler, Jane Fonda, Hasan Minhaj, Pete Davidson, Amy Schumer, Adam Devine, Dr. Phil and more. He has also been a contributor or host on CNN, Headline News, FOX News, NPR, ABC News, and makes politics and pop culture funny on his podcast “Last Week on Earth”.
    Esquire said he “could be comedy’s next big thing” but now with his candidacy for the Democratic nomination, he could be America’s next president! Come see his standup tour now, because if he wins, it could be his last for four or eight years!

  • Kevin McCaffery
    December 21, 2019 at 8:00 PM Kevin McCaffery
    Kevin McCaffrey is a comedian & writer based out of New York City. He made his network TV debut on The Late Show with David Letterman in November of 2013 (after which he was hired to do warm-up for the show), and he currently appears every week on truTV Presents: World’s Dumbest. He has also appeared on VH1’s I Love the 2000s, History Channel’s I Love the 1880s, and The List on the WWE Network. Kevin hosts College Stories with Kevin McCaffrey, a weekly podcast talking to comics, writers, and actors about their time in college, and their best/funniest/craziest stories from that time.
     
    Originally from Chicago, he graduated from Ball State University despite the school’s general policy of taking attendance. Since then he has been a contributing monologue writer for The Late Show with David Letterman. Kevin has also appeared on The Late Show many times as an actor, once being hosed down by Dave with a fire extinguisher. To his knowledge, this is an honor Kevin shares only with Richard Simmons.
     
    When asked to describe his exceedingly unique brand of comedy, Kevin says, “What I do, is I try to say stuff that’s funny.” That’s how avant-garde he is! As a performer, he relies on content more than volume; he’s not the crazy props guy, the crazy angry guy, or the crazy fat guy. At least not yet.

  • DOUG T HYPNOTIST - NEW YEARS EVE SPECIAL!
    December 31, 2019 at 10:00 PM DOUG T HYPNOTIST - NEW YEARS EVE SPECIAL!
    Ring in the New Year at Penguin's with DougT!  Champagne & breakfast after the 10:00PM SHOW!

    After touring as a standup comic for years Doug wanted a new way to create a better show and entertain more people. That is when he started studying hypnosis and all different types of ways to hypnotize people.   Doug wanted to take Comedy Hypnosis to the next level by creating a show that is different from all of the rest. He adds in his quick wit and spot on impressions to make the show fun from beginning to end. His comedy background is a large part of this ability. He has toured and still tours with some of the big names in comedy. Some of the names include Pauly Shore, The Impractical Jokers from TruTV, Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler's Mom), Tim Wilson, Greg Hahn, MIke MacRae, and many more.....

    Working in some of the greatest theaters around the country has put him in front of thousands of people.  He also keeps his shows family friendly due to the large amount of Corporate events and Colleges he works with. When asked about if volunteers on his show should be worried about coming on stage his response was simply " I treat the volunteers on stage the way I would want my wife and daughters treated, with respect and dignity! "  That is why Doug has become one of the most requested in the nation for Corporate events, Colleges and High Schools.  ESPN selected him to be a Bowl Game entertainer for teams at the Compass Bowl in Birmingham, AL.  Finding a way to make people forget about the stresses of life and laugh through his 75 to 90 minute show is what DougT lives for......
