Join us for a night of stand up comedy as we raise money for Never Had a Bad Day!
The Never Had a Bad Day Foundation (NHBD) began in 2016 with the mission to spread 365 Days of 365 Smiles to pediatric cancer patients and their families in the greater Chicago area. We believe in the power of an optimistic attitude, which is why we use the phrase never had a bad day. Our Board of Directors and Volunteers embody the spirit of this attitude. The NHBD goal is to inspire more reasons for children and their supporting families to smile.Joke at the Oak was started December 12, 2018 as an open mic to give rising comedians a chance to compete for featured and headlining sets every Wednesday, and to participate in our charity showcases.
Knowing the struggle for up and comers, he was inspired to start his own weekly show at his favorite bar in Chicago, The Irish Oak. He has since then encouraged and inspired many new comedians to not be afraid to follow their dreams. Not only is Pat genuine and kind, he is pretty hilarious. Every week Joke at the Oak gets better and better, and every week another funny human with a dream gets the confidence to do what they love.
Our Host Pat Treuer: Pat, Colorado raised, started doing stand up when he was a young man at 23. After his first show he knew that comedy and making lives better one laugh at a time was his true dream. As a young comedian there was one show that didn’t go quite as well and left him feeling discouraged and doubting himself. At that point he chose to walk down the path of corporate life. After 13 years of working for money instead of happiness he realized something was missing. It was time to get back on the horse, and back to doing what he loves. Pat decided to quit his job and put everything he has into his dream, being a comedian.
