The Bi Wives Club is not just for married bisexual women; it's a comedy showcase for all outsiders who hide in plain sight. There’s nothing interesting about fitting the mold, and the Bi Wives have happily stopped trying.
The show has rapidly become an audience favorite that frequently sells out well in advance. The production is playful, intimate, and reliably hilarious. Our audiences praise the humor, atmosphere, and the show's sense of community and connection.
Hosted by Kris Lantzy, Christen Manville and Kayla McCaffrey, this month's featured comedians include Hoja López, Maureen Nolan, Grace Kilpatrick & Cameron Gillette.

ABOUT THE COMEDIANS AND HOSTS
Hoja López is a queer Venezuelan comedian and writer for NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me and Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Hoja is also the creator and co-host of Gay News, a queer focused, news web-series.
Maureen Nolan is a stand-up comedian, producer and wanna be bird enthusiast. She was nominated for Chicago Reader’s Most Annoying Comedian (next year). You may have seen her on Laura and Friends, Gems of Chicago, Slumber Party, or her own monthly show the Stand Up Showcase Showdown. She hosts an open mic every Tuesday at iO Chicago called Loose Four @ 6pm, come say hi!
Grace Kilpatrick is a Chicago-born comedian who turns her nervous energy into a relatable and engaging comedy experience. She’s a regular at Zanies Chicago local showcases and performs frequently at the Lincoln Lodge.
Cameron Gillette performs stand-up with perfect harmony of his mind and body—both of which are useless on their own! He is your favorite comedian’s favorite comedian (if you both have great taste). Cameron’s web series One’s Company is a sitcom about him talking to himself in his apartment. It is a truly original marriage of music and comedy that must be seen to be understood. Cameron has been featured as a “Comic to Watch” at the RIOT Comedy Festival in LA. He’s been a crowd favorite at clubs like Chicago’s Laugh Factory and the Knitting Factory in NYC, as well as the multi-city showcase Comedians You Should Know.
The comedian producers of the Bi Wives Club are three bi wives (not to each other) who perform, celebrate, and promote joyful joke-dense authentic comedy. KRIS LANTZY reliably finds hilarity in everyday life. Tackling topics like queer parenting, having your wife mistaken for your sister, and fancy cheese heists, she's an exemplar of designing and living your best life. KAYLA MCCAFFREY is an actor, comedian, and improvisor as well as a newlywed wife, an inner child nurturer, and a vegan dog mom. Kayla jumps between her too-many roles with ease and throws her whole heart into everything she does. CHRISTEN MANVILLE is a comedian with an unmatched ability to inhabit discordant perspectives with ease and understand the world from all angles. She is as comfortable at an X-rated experimental puppet show as she is at your grandmother’s 80th birthday party. Her comedy reminds audiences that they're not alone in pushing their heavy boulders up their steep Sisyphean hills.
