The fight is not over yet. The musicians have made their voices heard in the matter of the proposed Promoters Ordinance which could levy crippling fees on promoters and producers of small shows, but the smaller comedy community has not, so the tabling and rewriting of the ordinance may not protect comedy's interests.

Chemically Imbalanced Comedy's Angie McMahon has created an online survey we should all take a moment to fill out. "Your comments on this survey will be presented to Mayor Daley and the City Council in early June along with the Chicago Music Commission comments."

Chicago comedian and producer Dan Telfer implores the comedy scene here to band together. "The city still has no idea how this ordinance effects comedy. It would end 'barprov,' all stand-up open mics, and 90% of the showcases in town. We have to let them know this ordinance is not designed to accommodate us at all or it will just come back on the table and get passed with the support of the music community, the only real community they're listening to, because they are so much more organized and respected than the comedy community."
