Host Spotlight Post — Jan Slavin

Jan Slavin is a singer, actress, and comedian who performs regularly at the Laugh Factory, Zanies, and Chicago Improv — and she's hosting Sunday Social Club on July 5 at Great Oaks. She'll keep the whole afternoon moving with exactly the energy it deserves.

Thirty-plus years in stand-up. Three plays written. A TV series. Classes at Columbia College Chicago. Award-winning storyteller. 🎤

He's featuring at Sunday Social Club on July 5 at Great Oaks. Come meet him. Better yet, come laugh with him.
