New Year’s Eve is a night to either embrace the madness outside at bars and elsewhere or you just hunker down for a night of eventful TV. Why watch some jerk in a scarf tell you about a ball drop on the other side of the country, go with the good local stuff. Some of Chicago’s best stand up comedians are taking over the airwaves of WCIU ‘the U’ tonight at 9pm and 12am with ‘Chicago’s One Night Stand-Up’ with a special filmed from Zanie’s. Hosted by Laugh Factory regular Rebcca O’Neil with a whose who of local stand outs in stand up with Pat McGan (he kicked butt on Letterman before), the outrageous Kristen Lundberg, Martin Morrow (a frequent guest with our own Brian & Lou) and many more people who drive on the Stevenson like you. Here’s a preview from the ‘You, Me, & this Morning’.

As someone who does stand-up in Chicago, I can not express how awesome this is. These comics are hilarious and hardworking, who will make your proud to say their from our town.
