Double Fisted Fozes at Gallery Cabaret!

Guess what we’re not doing tonight?  We’re not playing!  This is not to say that we’re not playing, it’s more like we’re not playing – because Foz IS playing with Colonel Foz tonight.  It will be a two fisted night of double fisted fozzery!

Olde Foz Sneering at The Green Wall.

First Foz is going to play a fine, long solo set at Andy Fleming’s Two-Hour Comedy Hour at the Gallery Cabaret in Chicago!  If you can wait that out, you will also have the opportunity to see Colonel Foz, the country music cousin of Your Old Pal Foz.

How did this happen?  Because Andy Fleming is an all right fellow in our book!

Andy has hosted the Two-Hour Comedy Hour for about thirty years with such luminous luminaries as Emily Lake and Katie McVay.  All of the great comics in Chicago have played this hoppin Saturday night venue, and who wouldn’t want to with the charming local clientele of drunk hipsters and hip drunkards?  I think it is just the kind of room where we can thrive.

Other A-listers listed for the bill include Natalie Grace Alford, who is a person I just heard of but is clearly terrific; Chox & Brizz, who are really great too, I guess, because Andy booked them; and then Marcon & the FYF Crew, an act that features Martin Morrow, and that’s good enough for me!  It’s going to be hard to hold a candle to any of these talented folks.  That is why it is so awesome that I get to go first.  You will have nothing better to measure me against.  I’ll probably get out of there with reviews like, “He didn’t fall down,” or “He only fell down a couple of times this time.” 

So go to the Two-Hour Comedy Hour at the Gallery Cabaret tonight at 10:00.  That is 2020 North Oakley in Chicago, America, and it starts at 10:00 (which is when I am playing because I go first.)

We are going to talk about the tragic end of the beloved comedy nook, the Lincoln Restaurant another day.  Right now I can't bring my self to talk about it.  Needless to say, the amazing shows that play there, like The Blackout Diaries, will continue at other venues.

Change!  Arghhhh!

Bye!
