Yo! Before we get too deep into the usual weekly coverage of the Chicago comedy listings we gotta plug the Doug Benson special events at Zanies this week! Really should not be missed if your a Doug Benson fan.
Doug Benson Live at Zanies (Rosemont)
Comedy Monster Doug Benson will be in the Chicago area preforming stand-up and ALSO recording his Live Podcast at Zanies in Rosemont this week. This is a rare opportunity to catch Benson live. Past guests on his show have included such notables as Brian Posehn, Joe Rogan, Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, Jon Hamm, Adam Carolla, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Aziz Ansari, Amy Poehler, Paul F. Tompkins and T.J. Miller just to name a few. Yeah this show should be bananas. Highly recommended.
