Friday Free-For-All
--The Bastion has started a Flickr group that we invite you to join, and share your photos of Chicago comedy. We're going to start including more photography in our posts and will be happy to give you credit when we use your snaps. Open mics, sketch, improv, showcases, tag your snaps and share them with our readership!
--Kumail Nanjiani is getting lots of press these days. His show "Unpronounceable," which debuted in Chicago at the Lakeshore Theater, is hitting the stage in New York. This is one of those very happy occasions where we're more than happy to say "I told you so." Time Out New York interviewed him. Gelf Magazine interviewed him. And the New York Post would like for its readers to go see him, too.
--Blewt! updates! Don't Spit The Water is heading to L.A. to perform one show on the Comedy Central stage. The show is on Wednesday, May 28th, 8pm, at the Comedy Central Stage at The Hudson.
--In other Blewt! news, a new monthly stand up showcase will launch tomorrow night, Saturday, March 29, at midnight, after Don't Spit the Water. The showcase, hosted by Bryan Bowden, is called Blewtenanny! and the first go-round will feature Mike Wiley, Neil Arsenty, Fuzzy Gerdes, and Chicago Comedy Award winner Ken Barnard. Tickets are free for the DSTW audience or $5.
