What's Popping!

Just For Laughs was such a freaking whirlwind I had to actually take a few days off to normalize and relax a bit. But now it's time to get back to the grindstone & there are some super solid comedy shows we want to put on everybody's radar. Chicago comedian Joe Kilgallon will be headlining a 45 minute set in downtown Chicago TONIGHT! It's a chance to see one of Chicago's best comedians do his thing in at a plush & intimate venue ( Timothy O'Toole's Pub). The show is being produced by Comedians You Should Know (Kilgallon is a member) which is one of the best showcases in the city. Kilgallon has been in rare form latley and this should be a real bannas type showcase. Also featuring Megan Gailey, Camilla Cleese and Martin Morrow.

Check out what else is popping this weekend and beyond.

Mike Lebovitz
At The Drop Comedy Club
Although this club is actually in indiana, it continues to book some of the best local Chicago Talent around, which is why it should be on your radar if your in the area. Lebovitz is fresh off his outstanding performance at the JFL festival and he always bring the goods.
