Chicago, I’m Home is a one-hour stand-up comedy special that invites viewers from all across America to take a look inside Barry Brewer’s lenses, as he tells the narrative about how he grew up on the South Side of Chicago. From sharing the history about growing up with his mom, to explaining his upbringing and survival in Englewood (known to be one of Chicago’s roughest neighborhood), Brewer becomes completely transparent about how growing up in the “the other Chicago” made him into the successful comedian he is today. He even touches on a few cultural and societal topics that we are often afraid to talk about.
