Clark St., at 5:30 p.m., with head chef and former Drake student Roger Herring, followed by a Drake-exclusive performance at Comedy Sportz at 8 p.m., featuring Tim Ryder, JO’05.

Guests who attend both the dinner and the comedy show will receive free charter bus transportation from Socca to the show and back following the performance. Valet parking is available both at Socca and the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts.

Cost per person is $60 for dinner only and $25 per person for the show only; for both dinner and the show, the cost is $75 per person.
