About the Artist

Throw your cares away for the night and join us at Cafe Carly‘s Night at Hey Nonny. Hey Nonny’s first sell-out was our first Café Carly cabaret show — featuring Chicago’s most talented young musical theater performers, wrangled into a uniquely themed show by hometown girl (and former NYC cabaret performer) Carly Stocking. Every Café Carly presents different songs, performers, and jokes, but every one is a polished, high-energy songfest for delighted crowds.

Carly Stocking is an Arlington Heights native and received her BFA in Acting from Illinois Wesleyan University. She has performed across the US, spending five years in New York City producing, directing, and performing in cabarets. She recently became co-owner of the Arlington Heights-based children’s theatre company Setting the Stage.

Neil Stratman (he/him/his) lived life to the fullest in the 90’s. Whether he was destroying a Chuck E. Cheese in a Chicago Bulls windbreaker, tearing up the roller rink to look cool, or screaming his heart out with the Backstreet Boys over a girl he had never met, the 90’s were what shaped the weirdo that you all have to listen to today. His favorite Chicago credits are all the times he has performed here, so he can win favor with whomever is reading this. Stalk him at neilstratman.com and @neilio77 on insta.
