ABOUT the SHOW

Emmy Award-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael brings his newest solo show to Steppenwolf. Hot on the heels of Carmichael’s smash hit HBO Special Rothaniel – widely hailed as a groundbreaking and singular achievement – Jerrod Carmichael will perform in Chicago for the first time in several years. The new show titled Jerrod Carmichael: Ari told me I lack focus makes its debut in Steppenwolf’s intimate Downstairs Theatre this Fall. Continuing Steppenwolf’s tradition of presenting innovative, artist-driven work, this two-night engagement is a one-of-a-kind evening from a masterful storyteller at his best.
