"Dane has been great to me, and comedy is not an easy field," Mamawala said in a news release. "The first thing Dane would do when he'd walk on the stage was to thank me as his opener and bring me added applause. It was unfortunate that I already had my own dates already booked, and so I wasn't able to play The Chicago Theatre last year when Dane headlined there in September 2024."

Mamawala often riffs on daily life and his experiences growing up as the child of an Indian Muslim father and a mother from Whitewater, Wisconsin. He's performed at venues like the The Fillmore in Detroit and The Met in Philadelphia and will be making his Theatre at the Center debut. Chicago-based comic Vik Pandya, who has released the albums "Friends With 401(k) Benefits" and "No Refunds," will open. He's also opened for Roy Wood Jr. and Michelle Wolf and played venues like Zanies Comedy Club and the Laugh Factory in Chicago.
A pre-show dinner is available for the Comedy Nights at the CVPA.
