Get Ready to Laugh! Chicago Improv Comedy Greats – Bryan Callen, Jon Lovitz & Frank Caliendo

Crowd LaughingA day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin

Humor is infectious! The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze and Chicago Improv Comedy has some of the “contagious” shows in town…contagiously funny, that is!  Check out these great upcoming comedy performance greats – Bryan Callen, Jon Lovitz & Frank Caliendo!

Bryan Callen:  The Man Class Tour – August 23 through 26
Bryan Callen is most widely known for his numerous film and television roles (The Hangover 1 & 2, How I Met Your Mother, Entourage) and is currently part of the MTV comedy series, Death Valley. This year, Bryan brings his stand up routine to stage for The Man Class Tour – proving himself an adept physical comedian and storyteller in this engaging routine - leading the crowd through the stereotypes of what it means to be a man.

Jon Lovitz – August 30 through September 2
For the last twenty years, Jon Lovitz has been one of the best-known comedians in the universe…well, according to his cats. Know for his stint on Saturday Night Live, as well as movies like A League of Their Own, Big and more recently Happiness, Jon brings yet another great comedic performance to Chicago Improv.

Frank Caliendo – September 7-8
Known for uncanny impressions of famous actors and politicians  (like Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Robert DeNiro,George W. Bush and Bill Clinton) and broadcasters (John Madden, David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Jim Rome), Frank, a 7 year veteran of television sketch comedy (MadTV, Hype) has his own show "Frank TV" on the TBS network. On the stage, Frank brings his A Game with a high energy blend of observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories. Frank is one comedian that should not be missed!

Competition is Fierce in the Road to the Ryder Cup leading to Medinah Country Club!

The Ryder Cup is vastly considered to be the most prestigious golf event in the world. United States versus Europe in three days of head-to-head competition….for pride…for country... and purely for the sake victory! The pressure really mounts when individual players are required to let go of their celebrity status and work together to win.

Golf collageWith such pressure on all of the players at this point Davis Love III, captain of the USA Ryder Cup team, believes the major goal is to ask the players to simply relax and just play their game.  The Road to the Ryder Cup is coming closer to the final stages, and it is certainly going to be one exciting event!

Summer Events at Navy Pier - 2012 Chicago Air & Water Show

Presented by Shell Oil Products U.S. and the City of Chicago, this year the 2012 Chicago Air and Water Show celebrates its 54th anniversary of daredevil thrills in the air, on the water at North Avenue Beach and along Chicago’s magnificent lakefront on Lake Michigan. Check out the best of summer events at Navy Pier where over 2.2 million annually come to enjoy the amazing sites of the Chicago Air & Water Show – making it the largest FREE admission air and water exhibition of its kind in the United States - Bravo Zulu, Chicago Air & Water Show! 

2012 Chicago Air & Water Show
August 18-19, 2012, 10am-3pm

Featuring some of the top civilian and military pilots and aircraft: 

  • U.S. Navy Blue Angels - astounding audiences since 1946 with their gravity defying Chicago Air & Water Show
    flying, commanding presence and supersonic maneuvers in their F/A-18 Hornets.
  • U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights & Team Leap Frogs - inspiring spectators as they jump out of an aircraft 12,500 feet above the earth’s surface, racing to North Avenue Beach at speeds exceeding 120 mph, making a perfect landing.
  • Daredevil pilots performing their aerial stunts include Sean D. Tucker and Team Oracle in the Oracle Challenger, Aeroshell Aerobatic Team in their WWII North American Advanced Trainer, Lima Lima Flight Team in the BeechT-34 Mentor, The Firebirds in their Walter Extra 300 S and Chuck Aaron in the Red Bull Helicopter.

Viewing Tips:  The best place to watch it will be from North Avenue Beach, but there will be a crowd, so it’s best to arrive early. Alternatively, Oak Street Beach offers some excellent views of the show, too. The John Hancock Observatory is also sure to offer a impressive view of the action. Regardless, any view should be a great one, given what will be on display!

The 2012 Chicago Air and Water Show will be, as it always has been, one of the premier summer events at Navy Pier and is easily one of the best things to do in the city during the summer. The Hyatt Regency Schaumburg, Chicago hopes everyone has a great time at this amazing event!
