WGN Morning News host Pat Tomasulo will perform a one-night-only stand-up comedy show at the Tivoli Theatre in downtown Downers Grove on Thursday, Nov. 12.
The show runs 7:30–9 p.m., according to the Downtown Downers Grove event listing. Classic Cinemas is hosting the event at the historic venue.
Tomasulo is a Chicago-based stand-up comedian, TV host, actor and podcaster. He co-hosts WGN Morning News, billed in promotional materials as Chicago's highest-rated morning news program. His one-hour comedy special, "What A Time To Be Alive," was released in February 2022.
His TV credits also include guest hosting "LIVE! With Regis and Kelly" and co-hosting "Shaq Vs," an ABC reality show featuring Shaquille O'Neal.
Off stage, Tomasulo created Laugh Your Face Off, an annual comedy benefit for the Facial Pain Research Foundation. The event has raised $4.5 million, Tomasulo told Block Club Chicago in coverage published in April. The foundation funds research to find a cure for trigeminal neuralgia, a rare nerve condition. Tomasulo's wife, Amy Tomasulo, has lived with the condition for 25 years.
In that April coverage, Tomasulo described the personal toll. "I've not touched the left side of my wife's face in 25 years," he said. "Any sensation on her face will trigger those kinds of attacks."
Meeting & Event Essentials Ltd. is listed as the organizer for the show, according to the Arts DuPage event page. Ticket and seating details are available through the Classic Cinemas website.
