Happy Tuesday, everyone! Has everyone recovered from this past holiday weekend? There are several new things happening in the world of comedy; let's have a look!

Tonight is the last night of Chicago Underground Comedy as housed by Gunther Murphy's. Beginning December 12, they will be at their new home, the Beat Kitchen: "Join us for a great start at our flashy new digs. Expect a star studded cast with some out of town guests. This line-up includes the absolute best Chicago has to offer in comedy," says co-founder Tony Sam.

Pressure Billiards & Cafe has officially been announced to now be called Pressure Comedy Cafe, and will host a Thursday open mic, a special "Crowd Work" show on Friday (where comics can test their heckling-handling skills...we are VERY excited about this one), and two showcases on Saturday. In addition to the new Pressure schedule, Edge Comedy is producing shows every Friday night at Kitty Moon beginning in December, beginning with two New Faces showcases on December 1.

We've also received word that details are being finalized on a big Lincoln Square area production from the combined efforts of the folks behind Blerds.com and the Lincoln Lodge. When? Where? There might be bowling involved. And a holiday. Just sayin'.

And finally, we're following up on a couple items from the rumormill, including a possible closing of a showcase room, and a new open mic possibly being produced by a legendary figure in Chicago's recent open mic history. That's all for now!
