My Pix from Election Night Chicago Underground Comedy Show

We had a tiny audience (which we expected), but they were super enthusiastic, and if I couldn't be with my boyfriend at the Obama rally in Grant Park, I'm glad I was at my show, celebrating with my friends.

Dan Telfer, also doing a spontaneous set, because none of us were in our right minds:


Jeff Hansen brought it home with some of that trademarked heartfelt passionate ranting we love him for:
