Mister Kelly’s was a tiny supper club located at 1028 N. Rush Street from 1957 to 1975. Artists entered the stage from the kitchen, and there was only room for 150 people. But the history that passed through that club was huge. Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, and Barry Manilow sang there. A surprising list of comedians from Bob Newhart to Phyllis Diller to Bill Cosby got their start at the club. Travel back in time and hang your hat “At Mister Kelly’s” in this musical homage to an icon of Chicago history.
