Nothing to Lose (But Our Chains)

He’s a thought-provoking standup comic, a TV personality, and an all-around good father and man…but he used to be a drug dealer, a convict, and a danger. Nothing to Lose (But Our Chains) tells the hilarious and harrowing story of how one black man went from six years in a state prison to a six-figure job in corporate America to a new life as an activist and satirist. Performed by Felonious Monk and a cast of Chicago’s sharpest comedians, this show combines sketch, standup, and music to remind audiences that true freedom comes only from within.
