There was a story arc, with immediately well-defined (though, of course, ridiculous and improbable) characters, and jokes that kept being worked b... more
The Bastion went to visit Red Bar Radio Monday night, to sit in on the two-hour Internet radio show along with featured guests (and local comedy faves) Prescott Tolk and Mike Bridenstine, and talk a little about the Chicago comedy scene. There was also much discussion about the Fantasia Barrino Lifetime movie, Dane Cook ’s outstandingly bad hosting job at Sunday night’s Teen Choice Awards , the recent arrest of John Mark Carr , and a slew of other topics su... more
Tony Sam, who performed in three of the five Don’t Spit The Water shows at the Fringe Festival in NYC, also managed to squeeze in some stage time doing his own stand-up while he was there.
