DeKALB | Die-hard Posehn fans packed the House Café, 263 E. Lincoln Highway, Friday night to see comedian Brian Posehn perform his stand-up routine. Two fans even drove as far as Indiana to hear the comedian perform.

Posehn is known for his stand-up as well as his role as Brian Spukowski on Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Program” and as being a series player on HBO’s “Mr. Show.” He is also one of the original members of the “Comedians of Comedy.” His one hour set covered many topics including the election, his family, Star Wars and Hulk Hogan.

“I prefer doing this type of stuff over stand-up clubs by a million,” Posehn said. “Just because it’s all fans and this is a cool market, you know?”

This wasn’t Posehn’s first time performing at the House Café. Posehn said this was the fourth or fifth time at the venue. These performances happen when he does a show in Chicago and adds an extra night at the House Café.

“I’ve just had a great experience here over the last several years, and I keep coming,” Posehn said. “It’s always fun.”

Jaron Clark and Matt Reish, 25, of Milford, Indiana, drove all the way from Indiana to see the show after learning about it on Facebook. They have been fans for almost 10 years, but this was their first time seeing Posehn live.

After the show, Posehn hung out in the House Café with fans. He chatted with them, posed for pictures and signed things they had brought.

Reish brought a DVD copy of the “Comedians of Comedy” for Posehn to autograph.

“It was very, very funny,” Clark said. “It was probably on the of the best sets I’ve seen him do.”

Clark and Reish said the House Café wasn’t the environment they were expecting for a comedy show, but they liked that the venue was intimate.

Over the years, Posehn’s comedy has grown and changed in style. His writing is now more story oriented.

“You don’t really know yourself when you first start writing jokes, and I just realized I was more of a story teller, like kind of what you saw tonight,” Posehn said. “They’re longer bits, they’re not like short jokes, they’re like stories.”

Posehn continues to work on his writing. Over the past three years, he’s had two comedy specials, “The Fartist” and “Criminally Posehn.” He also has a reoccurring character on “The Big Bang Theory” and on “Steven Universe.” He has a lot more planned, too.

“I’m writing a book [and] trying to get a movie made,” Posehn said. “I’m always working on new material.”
