« One Question With Pat O'Brien | Main| New Video Wednesday! » Thursday Aug 30 2007 On the Scene: Chicago Style Comedy, Wise Fools Pub
Thursday, August 30, 2007 at 8:00AM
Brendan McGowan, Mike Stanley, Victor Marinier, and Joe Kilgallon.
Last night, the Bastion pretty much lived in Lincoln Park, with dinner at Red Lion Pub, then a skip over to the Apollo Theater for the monthly Chicago Comedy Series show, and then back down south on Lincoln Ave. for the debut showcase of "Chicago Style Comedy" at Wise Fools Pub, a new room started by the Birds Nest boys and offering great promise in the world of barroom stand-up comedy. The bar has a dedicated room for live performance, roomy seating arrangement, and a well-lit stage and decent sound system, as it's used to hosting a variety of music events. Chicago Style Comedy hopes to find a home here for the next several months, and will be doing the showcase on a monthly basis, with a plan to continue on a weekly basis in the near future.
The boys packed the room with a lively audience, beginning nearly on the dot! at 8 p.m., and performed long sets, with headliner Mike Stanley, oft-seen performing on the road and always a pleasure to have back home.
Hilarious sets performed by: Brendan McGowan, Mike Stanley, and co-producers Victor Marinier and Joe Kilgallon. Scene out: Dean Carlson, Jeff Hansen (who is beginning a new comedy show at Gorilla Tango Sept. 5 -- stay tuned), Bill Cruz, Sean Rumrill, Bradley Fojas.
