Bastion Scoops the Trib, Jack Calhoun Makes an Impression
Remember awhile back when we scooped that article about a big time comedy club owner giving three open mic'ers some helpful advice? Well, that article just dropped in the At Play section of the Chicago Tribune today, complete with a "who's your favorite comedian?" video quiz.
In honor of the article, and their verdict that Jack Calhoun is the favored of the three comics mentioned overall, we thought we'd share a brief video we snapped of Jack a few weeks ago at the MIX Monday night open mic, at approximately 12:30 a.m.:
Ahh, the MIX. Speaking of, word has it that Brian the Bartender's last day is next Monday, September 4. TJ Miller is hosting the open mic that evening. Suffice it to say, the Bastion will be there to, uh, chronicle the evening, in the interest of immersive journalism, as it's bound to be one of those seminal nights in open mic history.
