What's Popping!

Damn... This is what I get for saying winter was half over last week... We got dumped on people. So much for the "good winter". Apparently Sunday's blizzard ranks among Chicago's top ten of all time. You know what else ranks high this week? Chicago's comedy scene (best sequeway ever). Recommended this week is Michael Issac @ Zanies, Awkward Hugs With Beautiful Women, Comedians You Should Know, The Kates on Broadway!, Congrats on Your Success and The Nasty Show just to name a few. Shake off that snow dust and check out what's popping this week.
