About us
Laughs with Lefties is a Chicago-based comedy + social meetup built around live shows, good energy, and actual connection (not awkward networking).
We host events centered around The Not That Late Show (ntlshow.com), a live comedy experience featuring notable Chicago guest interviews, stand-up, local musicians, and a crowd that’s here to laugh and hang.
What to expect:
🎤 Live comedy (smart, fun, sometimes a little unhinged)
🍻 Chill, social atmosphere before & after
🧠 A crowd that’s generally thoughtful, curious, and leans progressive
🤝 Easy way to meet people without it feeling forced

The Not That Late Show is a POC- and queer-led late-night talk show hosted by Justin Swinson, featuring an ensemble of Chicago comedians debuting brand-new material each month. NTLS is just like the late night talk shows you would see on TV (Colbert, The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, etc.), but with a Chicago focus. Taking place every third Wednesday at The Lincoln Lodge, the show blends sketch comedy, sharp interviews, and live music from emerging local artists. Past guests have included Mayor Brandon Johnson; Writer and Educator Dr. Eve L. Ewing; Viral Chicago Attorney, Rachel Cohen; and Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK among others.
