Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 5:17PM Last night, Chicago Underground Comedy kicked off the 2010 Just for Laughs Chicago Festival. With two concurrent shows on stages upstairs and downstairs, the venue was at raucous capacity with 250 people. Special last-minute guests and Chicago expats Kyle Kinane and John Mulaney joined hosts Mike Bridenstine and Mike Sheehan, and Chicago up-and-comers Adam Burke, Beth Stelling, Brendan McGowan, Cameron Esposito, Dan Telfer, Hey You Millionaires, James Fritz, Junior Stopka, and Sean Flannery. Golden boy-come-home TJ Miller rounded out the evening’s festivities.
