Comedy @ Commonwealth presents headliner IRENE TU.
Irene Tu is an LA-based stand-up comedian, actor and writer who honed her chops in San Francisco. Her first comedy album WE’RE DONE NOW debuted in March of this year at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Irene has performed at Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival in the highly coveted “INTRODUCING” showcase. Her STAND-UP FEATURING set is the most watched reel on Comedy Central’s Stand-Up’s Instagram page, with over 2.7 million views. Paste Magazine praised Irene’s “quick wit, relaxed stage presence, and hilariously off-the-wall observations” in this album that “ticks all the boxes of a winning introduction, and then some.” She was named one of Vulture’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know” and singled out in The SF Chronicle as an “artist on the brink of fame.” She’s a regular at festivals and clubs around the country and opens for comics like Taylor Tomlinson and Patton Oswalt.
OUR EVENTS AND FACILITY
Unless otherwise noted, our events are open to all ages. However, some of our events, like stand-up comedy, may contain content that some guests will find offensive, or inappropriate for some age groups. We encourage audience members to do their own research before attending a performance or event to ensure their own comfort while in attendance.
Comedy @ Commonwealth, Northern Kentucky’s only comedy club, is housed in Commonwealth Sanctuary, the historic, former Tower Methodist Church, built in 1914. The original stained glass windows and custom-built, curved pews are all still on site. Now, in its new life as a Community Events Venue, this beautiful old building hosts the best stand-up comedy, music, theater, and cinema that you can find in the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area. The facility features a full sound system, programmable stage lighting, a 150-inch rear projection movie screen, and a concession stand where we serve a full menu, including beer, wine, and cocktails.
PARKING
Please look for parking in the city parking lot directly behind Commonwealth Sanctuary, in the second city parking lot located one block east near Galactic Chicken, and on the street along 6th Ave.
ACCESSIBILITY
NOTE: Because of the age and architecture of the building, this facility is not wheelchair accessible.
