John Mulaney Sweeps Through Hometown of Chicago
New York-based Chicago native stand-up comic John Mulaney will be performing at Chicago Underground Comedy at 9:00 pm this Tuesday, October 23 before being a special guest when the Comedians of Comedy rolls through Chicago November 1.
He's also touring with national headliners (including Mike Birbiglia at Chicago's Lakeshore Theater), and performing on Comedy Central's "I Love the 30's," and VH1's "Best Week Ever."
Mulaney was interviewed in September by The Apiary, where he discussed being on Conan O'Brien twice (clips below), and joining the writing staff for Michael Ian Black's upcoming pilot while still being in his 20's. I guess when you start doing sketch at the age of seven, you're a seasoned pro much earlier than most.
From the Apiary interview:
What was doing Conan like?
It was the best thing in the world. That show has loomed so large in my mind since I was 13 that to appear on it was pretty unbelievable. When I did it in February I got to the studio too late to see anyone before the show, so the first time I met Conan O'Brien was when he walked over at the end of my set. It was absolutely surreal.
