This is not a documentary about the upcoming election but rather a “dark” comedy show sprinkled with ghost stories (not, come to think of it, a bad description of the upcoming election). Try to focus instead on Halloween, with headliner Joe Fernandez (self-described as an “intolerable presence” and a “lovable jerk”) is joined by Chicago’s Sam Biru and Maeve Devitt (who bills herself as the “Kirkland brand” comedian). This Cheshire Cat Comedy showcase is hosted by Noah Mailloux.
media release: Join us for a special Halloween comedy show that sprinkles dark comedy with the spookiest of ghost stories. With a headlining performance by Joe Fernandez:
Joe Fernandez is a half-Cuban half-Irish (or Cubish) comedian and actor. Described as cerebral, sardonic, and flat out bizarre, Joe combines low-brow, off-color humor with high-brow references to satirize serious subjects. Joe has morphed smart and stupid into his own unique brand of silly--but layered--comedy. He’s taken his offstage persona of intolerable presence and morphed it into his on-stage persona of lovable jerk and is facetious to a fault. Joe has performed in numerous comedy festivals such as Chicago TBS Just For Laughs Fest, the Boston Comedy Fest, the Memphis Comedy fest, and Chicago Sketchfest. He was a finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award and is a regular at many Chicago comedy institutions, including Zanies, Laugh Factory, Comedians You Should Know, and Paper Machete. He’s opened for some of the biggest names in comedy like Dave Attell, Jon Lovitz, and Natasha Leggero. His debut comedy album, "Ugly", opened at #1 on iTunes.
