<p>« Snakes Drop 'Not Ready to Die' | Main| The CHI Hip Tip » Tuesday Dec 08 2009  SNL Alum Joe Piscopo to Feature Local CHI Comics on New TV Variety Show</p>
<p>Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 12:00PM Tonight is the first of two scheduled showcase auditions for Joe Piscopo's proposed television variety series After Dark with Joe Piscopo, happening at the Joynt, 7 p.m. Eight local comics will vie for a feature spot on the series, scheduled to begin filming January 11. Tonight's showcase is already sold out; the next show will be December 29, and advanced tickets are highly recommended. You can purchase those tickets here. Tonight's line-up will feature Jim Flannigan, Michael Palascak, Prescott Tolk, Emily Galati, Joe Kilgallon, Michael Aaron, Joe Red, and Joe Kwaczala.</p>

<p>Show producer Fred Farris at Key Management has this to say regarding to the proposed television series: "There are major networks interested but there hasn't been a deal inked as of yet. If/when a network picks it up they will determine how many episodes will be put into production. There may be additional stand-up comedy audition showcase shows next year depending on what happens."</p>

<p>After Dark seeks to include artists from all genres of entertainment, including music, comedy, theatre, and film.</p>

<p>A short interview with Farris can be seen below.</p>
