Ok, how about a direct plea from Eddie & Jobo – the two hottest DJs*!!!!!!!!

These guys are great, and have been looking to get back in the game! Sure, they may not necessarily be on the air in Chicago (or anywhere else) right now – but dammit, these guys have got stories, attitude, and love to entertain. They BELONG in front of a microphone.

At least that’s what we keep telling them. They seem quite content doing their United Auto Insurance commercials.

Check them, Rhymfest, Tim Smithe, Joe Bill and Brian Babylon tear up the Martyr’s stage on June 17th with Schadenfreude and The Jordan Years!

If you are on the fence about coming to the Schad show on Friday night, well, maybe Lita Ford will convince you. We’re not saying Lita will make an appearance, but if she did, it would look a lot like this gem from 2007…

Gallery Cab – 8pm. It’s early enough that you can get over to your sexy dance clubs before midnight…

Seriously 47th Ward? You’ve got a Twitter account too? What will you Tweet about? My new Street Sweeper schedule? A review of Iron Man 2? A link to the “crazy video of the cat playing piano”?

Because that is exactly what you are going to get by following me.

Brian D’Arcy James is probably the only Broadway actor I know. The Steppenwolf guys don’t count. Brian went to college at Northwestern and hit the Chicago theater scene in shows like “Hair” at the Vic. Then he went out to NYC and has been in everything  from Titanic to playing a thug in that Ricky Gervais movie where Ricky was a dentist who saw ghosts.

Oh yeah, and he is Kate’s brother.  This will be the first time that the talented brother/sister combo will be on stage together. What, you guys never did community theater? How bout skits at the family reunion? Well, we are very happy to have this ‘premiere’ at the Schad show this weekend at the Gallery Cabaret.

One note: If you are a fanatic D’Arcy James fan who is coming out, a couple things you should know about the Gallery:

• Mike is not wearing a costume. He seriously is a postal worker.
• Burt is probably drunk. So don’t take anything personal.
• The Cherry Master video poker is for amusement only.
• The Golden Tee machine is sacred. Don’t take it.
• You’ll get used to the smell.

So Saturday night 9pm, Gallery Cabaret in Bucktown. And for those not in the know about how cool it is to have Brian D’Arcy James, here’s a clip. Seriously, we weren’t bullshitting about his chops. For God’s sake, he was on Rosie!!!!!!

Well, you’re in LUCK – Adam’s coming back for the show, and he even has a bit or two. Welcome Adam back, and we promise you won’t be disappointed!

If you weren’t there… Then the video pretty much gives you the highlights, and, Spoiler Alert, Adam moved to LA the next week.

I just can’t wait to get onstage this Saturday for the TBS Just for Laughs Festival. The guest list is ridiculous, the comedy is gonna be out of the park, and although we aren’t as famous as Ellen, our shit’s gonna be Chicago.

Just inviting Kanye to your show doesn’t make it “Chicago”, Ellen.

Get your tickets now! You do NOT want to miss this event.
