Cannabis and comedy are merging for a new experience in Illinois. CannaLaugh comedy series, Blazed and Amused, is scheduled to host an immersive comedy show for the “cannabis-positive crowd, combining elevated humor, culture, and hemp-focused engagement.” The inaugural event is set for Saturday, Aug. 16, at the CineCity Studios in Chicago.

The Blazed and Amused event features five nationally recognized comedians performing live stand-up, infused mocktails, interactive brand activations, and a culinary lineup. Performing comedians include, Ray Grady, Dawn B, Baldhead Phillips, Jadi, and headliner Slink Johnson. The door opens at 5 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Attendees must be 21 years or over with ID.

General admission and VIP tickets can be purchased here. All attendees receive a goodie bag, pizza or barbecue, and lemonade. Balcony VIP tickets include private mocktail tender and a private chef. The event also features a live DJ, vendors, and chill zones. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to partake in a glass blowing education in which they can blow their own glass.

A portion of the Blazed and Amused ticket sales will go to the Last Prisoner Project as well as another soon to be announced important Chicago project. CineCity Studios is located 2429 W. 14th St. in Chicago. CannaLaugh can be found on Instagram @cannalaugh.
