Here's a quick, old video.

I'll be performing with Kill All Comedy as part of the Chicago branch of the Just For Laughs festival! The show is on Saturday, June 15, at Stage 773 at 8:30pm.

There are several more episodes out now, you can keep up with them properly at dyingboy.com or killallcomedy.com.

Re: Feature Title

Liz,
Wrapping up that feature on the new comedy club downtown. Need title. Torn between “No Laughing Matter” or “Seriously Funny.” Totally stuck. Suggestion?

Re: Feature Title

D,
Obviously, It's important to everybody on staff that we get this one right. We can't have a repeat of the John Glenn traveling exhibit. We're going to nail this one the first time.

Not sure how much help I can offer. Stuck myself...working on title for article about movies based on true stories.

Wrapping my head around this. Sounds like you think think these guys are funny, but they (paradoxically) take the business of comedy seriously. Have you considered "Funny Business"?

Liz,
Funny Business! Golden! I was starting to get a little worried. Still reeling from the John Glenn incident. Can't believe News4U beat us to "Out of This World."

Re: Feature Title

D,
Still “reeling”?! Eureka! For my the movie story --movies are shown on “reels.” Based on stories that are “real.” Might be something there. Will look into feasibility.

Re: Feature Title

Liz,
Last minute nerves kicking in...one small concern with "Funny Business"...too smart? Sure, you and I get it, but will Joe Sixpack?

Re: Feature Title

You're right. We can do better. Our readers deserve it. Forwarding this message to my mentor from Journ school. Just finished his manuscript about Cambodian genocide. He's a genius.

PS- Reel/Real thing was a dead end. Back to the drawing board.

"Ph" instead of "F"?

Dr. Bell,
Phunny Business! Brilliant! Let's change the case of the letters for maximum humor! "pHuNnY bUsiNesS!" I'm LOLing just thinking about it, (in an informed way). Can't wait to see their faces at Snooze4U when that one hits the stands.

Re: Feature Title

Donal,
LoVE the CaSeS iDEa! Devastating news, though. We don't have clearance for Comic Sans (or CoMiC saNS...can't get enough of this!).

Have to shelve the story until we can work it out with the layout guy. So sorry. It's a tough business. Will buy you a drink after issue is out.

PS - We almost did it, didn't we?
