Robert Buscemi DVD release shows
One of my favorite Chicago standups, Robert Buscemi, is releasing a DVD of a standup performance at Subterranean (along with bits and pieces like the Blerds video above). He’s having two DVD release party shows at the Annoyance (4840 N Broadway) on Sunday, July 22 and 29 at 8pm. The show will feature standup and sketch from Robert and others and the premiere of a new comedy short by Robert and Steve Delahoyde (coincidentally one of my favorite Chicago filmmakers).
Robert’s got a few standup clips on YouTube and I’ll especially point you at the Penguin Joke and Robert as a giant cigarette for a Pennsylvania anti-smoking ad.
Oh, and the show is $15, but evidently Robert will hook you up with half-price tickets just for sending him an email. I dunno, maybe he makes $8 a pop selling your email address to spammers. He’s canny, that Buscemi.
