Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) is set to kick off season two of Gallery Laughs. After a popular 2025 debut season, the one of a kind, four-part stand-up comedy series, produced by Chris Denman and Mid Coast Media, is returning for another year. The 2026 series features nationally touring comedians Chris Redd, Jessimae Peluso, Dulcé Sloan, and Guy Torry, supported by some of St. Louis' favorite local performers. SLAM admission is always free, but Fridays are taken up a notch with special programming. Gallery Laughs’ upbeat evenings start at 5:00 p.m. with DJ Scooter Brown and a special cocktail hour. Comedy follows at 6:30 p.m. Free tickets will be available in person at the Museum starting at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the performance. Tickets will be available at the welcome desk in Taylor Hall. The laughs are accompanied by custom art designed by St. Louis’s own Cbabi Bayoc. Special portraits inspired by the headlining comedians are displayed at each show, with a select number of prints available for lucky attendees to take home.
