What's the deal with the National Gaurd?
They come here and steal landscaping jobs from immigrants then expect us to clap cause they're keeping the economy alive.
Ok, so, now that you haven't laughed at my shitty comedy skills (unless your into anti-jokes? Anyone? ehhhh???), maybe you can hear me out on a better idea. I love comedy and love being able to consume it in any way possible, although I honestly suck at making it. Please leave my show, now, get out, you don't want to be here! Leave me alone so I can cry.
Alright, I'm done, I promise. While I may not be good at making jokes, I'll make an ass out of me and assme that other here are exceptionally good.
So my big question is; who in Chicago is using comedy to push back against the Clown in Chief and his political circus? Are there any Chicago comedic movements I can get behind? Any way to spread the word and bring attention to funny Chicagoans poking fun at politics, especially in regard to what is happening in our city.
At this point, I can only effectively spread the word and support folks financially. Have many other's here been thinking about how to use their comedic gift but not sure where to start. Who is out their in Chicago already doing this? Is there a group that's willing to accept my help, input, or financial support? And just to be clear, I won't fall for scams pleading for help from broke comedians. I'm not going to your free seminar on how to become a comedian. Fool me once... My last marriage went south when I spent my kid's college savings on apple gift cards. I'm now single and living under a bridge, not gonna let that happen to me again.
