"Flock Yourself" Open Mic at Bird's Nest Bar, Every Wednesday

[CJ Toledano]

Hello ASTers,

I don't get a chance to post very often but here I am. I'm in Chicago indefinitely and decided I wanted to run a new show with some pals. Here it is:

A new comedy show is taking flight on Wednesday nights. Nestled in the heart of Lincoln Park, the "Flock Yourself" open mic at Bird’s Nest Bar, every Wednesday, will feature a lottery draw system. Hosted by local comedy standouts C.J. Toledano (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), Bob Palos (Schuba's), and Aaron Weaver (Every show in town), Flock Yourself will also feature veteran comics booked throughout the show to ensure that laughter will definitely happen occasionally. Start with $1 burgers and stay for $3 Sam Adams drafts.

"Like" us at www.facebook.com/flockyourself. Share the page and we'll sign you up without you being there. See you soon.

$1 Burgers? Damn, that's incentive enough.

How much stage time do you get?

[CJ Toledano]

4 minutes.

The place is really nice. Intimate space with good food and cheap beer. We got a good first line-up as well: Kenny Deforest, Simmons McDavid, sketch group Oh Theodora, Matty Ryan, and Marty Derosa. More to be announced.
