but not like THAT
Jacob Crow is a stand-up comedian based physically in Chicago. His stand-up is about family values issues that actually matter: Ariana Grande and why he is somehow still single. (If you are an agent AND you're hot, dm him!)
He trained at Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade. He has performed on Don't Tell Comedy and at venues including the Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles, Color Club, iO and Lincoln Lodge in Chicago. He has appeared at the Fillet of Solo Storytelling Festival and Printers Row Lit Fest. His special GAY SON THOT DAUGHTER POWER BOTTOM HOUR debuted at The Den Theatre in Chicago in March 2026.
Since June 2025, Jacob has hosted and produced GAY GUY MUSIC VIDEO NIGHT, a live comedy show featuring Chicago's best comedians performing and then presenting a music video they think everyone NEEDS to see.
Here's the deal: a huge part of Jacob's life is watching music videos and losing his mind about them with his hilarious friends. He thought the more the merrier. So he created the show as a way to celebrate the insane and groundbreaking pop culture moments we all evangelize about to anyone who will listen, and bring that energy into a live room.
You will laugh. You will learn. You will get a say in which comedian gets the crown (a Celsius and VCR cleaner...) at the end of the night. It's comedians, it's drag queens, go go dancers, LESBIANS, and sometimes someone's supportive mom comes. The show runs monthly in Chicago at Cafe Mustache and tours nationally to cities near you.
It's a night you absolutely cannot miss. He means it. Do not test him on this.
