Justin Silva began pursuing comedy while earning a living as an electrician and part-time restaurant server. His move from those jobs to full-time performing is the clearest thread in the biography accompanying his 312 Comedy Festival date at The Vic Theatre.
A turn toward the stage
Silva’s biography says he grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and began doing comedy at 21. He kept his electrician and server jobs for about a year and a half after his first comedy show, then left them to pursue performing.
The biography describes the work that followed: seeking out open mics, taking free-show and hosting opportunities, and making social-media content. It also traces his move from Connecticut to Florida with his fiancée, Ashley Cotto, as his online audience grew. Silva’s five children and his faith are part of the personal context he gives for continuing to work toward a comedy career.
That history explains the path to the festival booking, but it does not identify topics or material for the Chicago set.

From online clips to touring rooms
Do312’s artist profile identifies Silva as a stand-up comic and TikTok creator who posts as @juss_intimehd and tours nationally. It says his videos frequently pass one million views, and names appearances at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, The Wilbur, and Improv and Punch Line theaters. Those credentials sketch the reach of his work beyond this one booking; they are not a set list or preview.

A vaudeville-era theater in Lakeview
The Vic opened in 1912 as the Victoria Theatre. Its venue history credits architect John E.O. Pridmore and describes a five-story vaudeville house that took three years to build. Italian marble remains on the lobby floor and staircases, and many of the original wall sculptures are still inside.
That history gives the performance a specific setting: a theater built for live entertainment more than a century ago, now hosting a contemporary comedy festival. The venue listing does not describe a special festival setup or the event’s stage arrangement.
