Comics for the Nite:

Host Kat Diaz hails from the rough streets of Des Moines, Iowa, but has called Chicago home for the last 10 years. Her humor can be described as a dry piece of toast buttered with wordplay and served with physical act outs that make you wonder "CAN all Latinas dance? Kat has trained at The Second City and her credits include Laugh Factory, Den Theatre and the Latina Comedy Festival. She currently produces Mi Gente at the Lincoln Lodge.

Guest Feature Mike Stricker is a comedian from the Chicago Suburbs who has been performing for over 13 years. He's one of the very few comedians who's performed in all 50 United States and has been the hand-picked touring opener for the guys from MTV's Jackass, The Trailer Park Boys, and has performed with more WWE Superstars on their comedy and spoken word tours than any comedian in the world. He's a craft beer and music nerd, and his comedy is chock full of pop culture. Mike headlined the 2023 Laugh Or Die Comedy Festival in Chicago, once performed at 2 Vape Shop Grand Openings in the same town, and is the only comedian ever to open for his favorite band, the mighty Atreyu. He performed at the Alaska Comedy Festival in 2024, and is a prolific nationally touring road comedian still under 40 years old. If you're looking for political or divisive comedy, Mike is not the comedian for you. Mike wants you to enjoy yourself, embrace being silly, and forget about your problems, even if it means you're laughing at him, instead of with him.
