Post-comedy show chatter is a always a mishmash, but at Chicago Underground Comedy, there are always a lot of passionate nerdy discussions. In this segment: "Lost" theories -- the little-explored "WWII doom scientists" backstory, the "accelerated psychic abilities" theory, who cares who kisses Kate? Jared Logan, Ricky Carmona, and Elizabeth McQuern love Star Trek, but Dan Telfer thinks the hot Borg chick is called "7, 8, 9," and can't get into things his parents were nerds about -- but was still scared by Dr. Who "garbage bags with lizard masks." Jared thinks Star Trek beats Star Wars by a mile. All agree that the final three Star Wars movies ruined the first three. Jared describes George Lucas as a "P.T. Barnum, Henry Ford, anti-semitic piece of crap." And no, the recording isn't skipping, there were lots of f*bombs that needed to be edited out. These are comedians, people.

Chicago Underground Comedy is the most fun you can have on a Tuesday for five bucks. Check out this little behind-the-scenes peek at the Halloween 2007 show, wherein Ricky Carmona goes all "Dark Knight" (AKA Batman), Jared Logan is annoyed that no one can tell he's Frankenstein even before the spirit gum wears off his neck bolts, Dan Telfer talks about his zombie stand-up set inspiring an audience member to run out of the room vomiting, and Robert Buscemi explains the rich personal history of his lesbian Unitarian minister character, "Earth Sky Fish Pants." Or "Earth Mother Wind Sock." Or "Earth Sister Mother Star." Whatever the hell her name is. (Produced by Elizabeth McQuern.)
