Marc Maron in Chicago

Well Aurora, actually. I drove down last night with a friend to see comedian Marc Maron performing at the beautiful Paramount Theatre.

His act was entertaining as it shifted between politics, the pitfalls of technology, or our inner demons. Add to that the fact that juggler Mark Nizer opened for him, and you have quite a mix of people in the crowd who are either laughing hysterically or trying to wrap their brain around what's happening on stage.

Maron recently moved back to LA after ending his stint as host of Morning Sedition out of New York. He's set to be starting a new radio show soon on the Air America network.

For an example of some of the work he's done elsewhere, check out the amusing short film he was in a few years back called Stalker Guilt Syndrome.
