"I'm The Gay Tupac"
This is primarily a comedy promotion website... and so posting about the Jussie Smollett situation. was not necessarily on our to do list - But like it or not - its a situation ripe for comedy and so MANY Chicago comedians were dubious about the claims and said as much regarding the whole ordeal on social media. A lot of comics referenced this video of Jussie on stage after the "attack" where he compared himself to Tupac Shakur - check it out & judge for yourself how sincere/organic it feels to you.
Have a Plan!
You may know me. You may not. Or you may be asking “Why the hell should I read an article by Anthony Bonazzo? Who’s he?” That may be precisely why you should.I'm a comedian. I’ve been around a microphone for a long time. I work hard & I love the Chicago comedy scene but I'm not out every single night performing comedy in the conventional sense.
I am also not a new comic who’s only been doing this for three months, trying to give you unsolicited advice on performing stand-up.
I just like to try and help people if I can. That's really it in a nutshell. Helping people is actually my full time job during the day as a Personal Trainer. Maybe you’ll let this digest, or maybe you’ll pass it off. Either way my intention is for it to be helpful.

So the stupidest government shutdown in american history continues which could lead to millions of evictions and thousands of TSA agents calling out sick. - So... We will choose to fall down a rabbit hole of black budgets and secret space programs (see Monday's post) which allegedly burns through trillions of untraceable tax dollars - because well, why the hell not?
Enjoy.
