CHICAGO – Two icons of comedy, one contemporary and one classic, took the stage during last month’s “Just for Laughs Chicago” festival – sponsored by the TBS Network – and brought down their respective houses. Political commentator Bill Maher and comic legend Bob Newhart both performed downtown at The Chicago Theatre.
Also performing their acts during the festival – appearing with Seth Meyers – was Al Madrigal of “The Daily Show” and Hannibal Buress, who is a notable stand-up comedian and writer for TV shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock.”
