Dear Aidy:

You were always our favorite, congratulations! We couldn't be more proud.

Take Over?

So, the two authors of this blog will both be moving out of Chicago this summer and therefore this tumblr will go unused unless one of you great followers would like to take it on?

Let us know!

This speaks for itself

It was announced earlier that Paul got some new opportunities and jumped on them. It’s not the shortest run a cast member on SNL could have, but after only a season and a half, Paul will be missed. Of course, he created Sex Ed Vincent outside of SNL, so we can’t wait to see what he’ll think of next. Here are some of his best moments on the show.

Curious as to what these better options are but congratulations nonetheless, Paul.

Blue Topaz was a good group. Chicago misses ya!

Everyone likes bagels! Everyone likes lox! Take it to the supreme court, it's the judgment box!

Rebranded video, same fun show. See you Wednesday.

It's not improv but I saw this show last night at the Playground and you should see it next week. I'm a huge fan of the anecdotal, one-man, sketch show and Daniel Shar does it well.

Daniel does a good job of making you laugh with him rather than at him. He has an endearing, confident, self-aware vibe that allows the viewer to feel like they're reminiscing with an old friend.

Go see Stuck in Third Grade Wednesday, January 25th at the Playground Theater on Halsted and Belmont (One of my favorite venues because of its intimacy and BYOB policy -- though you don't have to be drunk to find Daniel funny. He does that all himself.)

Have sincerity. Be as sincere as if you were singing a song that means a lot to you.

[fuckyeahchicagoimprov]

Great to see some of our old standards doing it big! Much love for The Reckoning and Mike O'Brien!

It's not Chicago. But it's still great.

I’m doing The Holy Fuck Comedy Hour again tonight!

Last time was so much fun, and if you missed it you should really think about coming. Midnight at The Annoyance, totally free, and cheap beer.

I leave Tuesday for the east coast. I’ll be gone for two weeks. So come laugh and drink and say (a temporary) goodbye!

I’ll be here performing too. cheap beer. free show.

[fuckyeahchicagoimprov]

You should go to this.

Justin Long -- Er Ross Bryant More evidence that this man is the greatest Chicago comedian for the moment.

Amy Poehler - 7 Minutes in Heaven with Mike O’Brien

[fuckyeahchicagoimprov]

I realize this came from an Amy Poehler fansite. But let's give a little Chicago love to Michael Patrick O'brien

MC Unicorn took home the title a couple weeks ago and remains an audience favorite. This past week he sacrificed himself so that Archbishop of Canterbury might live. Respect.

Throw your horns in the sky if you feel the vibe.
