Craig Ferguson in kilt and cowboy hat

...and I see by the Chicago Tribune that Craig Ferguson is doing his stand-up act at the Zanies comedy clubs near Chicago...unfortunately for me, not the one that is actually IN Chicago (that one I can get to conveniently) but he two in the suburbs.

I'd love to get a chance to see him perform if only to find out if he's easier to understand than Billy Connolly.

AA, where did you see that? Which day's paper? When is he going to be here and which Zanies?

Friday's Chicago Trib. Zanies St. Charles on Friday night and Zanies Vernon Hills on Saturday.

You're a bit closer to either of them, I guess...for me it would be a major expedition so I'll wait until he plays the one in Old Town in Chicago.

You could establish that fact by taping/tivoing CBS or staying up late. He's on Monday-Friday, right after David Letterman. 12:35 a.m. here. Probably an hour earlier for you.

My own take is that he's easier to understand than Billy Connolly, but not quite as funny.
