Comedian River Butcher has announced a new date for his spring stand-up engagement at The Den Theatre.
Butcher, originally scheduled to perform Friday, March 11, will now appear Saturday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. on The Heath Mainstage, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Butcher is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comic, actor and writer. Originally from the Midwest, Butcher grew up in Akron, Ohio. His blue-collar brand of cool has endeared him to audiences nationwide, as they have performed standup and appeared on shows such as Freeform's Good Trouble, HBO's 2 Dope Queens, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, @midnight and Conan. His debut stand-up album, Butcher, debuted at number one on iTunes, and he was also named one of Variety's Top Ten Comics To Watch 2017 at the Just For Laughs festival.
Tickets ($18-$40) are currently available at thedentheatre.com or 773-697-3830. A Windy City Times interview with Butcher is at www.windycitytimes.com/lgbt/River-Butcher-slices-up-some-fresh-new-comedy-/72439.html .
