We sat down this week with Nathan Weil, one of the creators and founders of the viral Humboldt Jungle show. Humboldt Jungle was a show that started in a basement in Humboldt Park. The show gained a mass cult following and was constructed of stand up comedy and music. The show kept growing in popularity, selling out minutes after new show announcements every week. Sadly, an influencer who came to the show and was asked not to film outside the venue, showed everything, addresses, street corners, and the video went viral. The show had to shut down, but has emerged back in a new form, pop up shows at large venues throughout Chicago. Traveling with their iconic backdrop, they set up in places like Chicago's Salt Shed music venue, Promontory point, and so many more. You can still catch them, but it's even harder than before to snag a ticket. Join us as we travel through the Humboldt Jungle Journey, the rise, the fall, and the reemergence. Also learn more about its creator Nathan Weil, a man of many talents, and a diverse life experience that lends itself to creating an underground sensation like this.
