Chicago : The Comedy Breeder

a couple weeks ago… I came home from cutting the ribbon at the nightclub & bar show in vegas w/old friend dan aykroyd, to have a meeting at sunda where I see harold ramis entertaining chevy chase for dinner, at which time I’m told I landed a part in a new movie filming here called “sin bin” where I’m in a super funny scene w/jeff garlin… and it hits me, this city isn’t “2nd” to anyone when for yet another category… and that’s being a comedy breeder!  It was obvious that the random combination of all these amazing talents are just a small example of what its like in this city where we are blessed beyond belief w/ major comedic street cred having given birth to some of the best talent in comedy celebrated around the world for decades!

Even creepier of a coincidence, I was pitched with doing a very grassroots comedy open mic night at one of my places the very next morning!  I originally thought that there are probably better homes for an open comedy night like our infamous comedy clubs that I love like zanies, improv,… but then thought, undiscovered raw talent can be discovered anywhere in this great town, and if truly a supporter of all emerging talent in chicago, I need to atleast give them a shot- So I am!

Tonite at Rockit Wrigley, from 7p-9p, before we start with live karaoke, we are inviting some of the best comedians around the city trying out their newest material, along with some nervous newcomers who will make their historic debuts as we are encouraging rookie comics who aren’t booked for shows to get in some more stage time now with us!  Now that I think about it, comedy and karaoke??? Hmmmmm… could be the next big thing!??!  all they need is you for is to come join us to hear them out so they can just have the chance!!!!!  See you there!
