Chicago native Joe Kilgallon, who has been living and working in LA for well over a year now, is returning to town tonight to celebrate the release of his debut comedy album, Pay Attention, now on iTunes.
Kilgallon will host a handpicked lineup of some of his favorite Chicago comedians and is expected perform a ton of new material himself. The special show is being produced by his own showcase collective, the wildly popular Comedians You Should Know (CYSK), a stand-up comedy powerhouse made up of some of Chicago's and Los Angeles's funniest comedians.
Kilgallon was born and raised in Chicago and cut his teeth in the local comedy scene. He's performed at clubs all over the country, opened for mega acts like as Hannibal Buress and Steve Byrne, and was one of the quickest comedians to get passed at the Hollywood Laugh Factory. In short, this guy's the real deal, and his release party is expected to be bananas.
The show and party will take place at Timothy O'Toole's in Streeterville. Doors will open at 8pm, and the show starts at 9. Buy tickets online for $10, or at the door for $15.
