Side Splitting Comedy
When a comedian's intro involves lugging a suitcase full of props on stage, most stand-up enthusiasts may shrug cynically -- until he whips out flaming chainsaws and knife-strapped bowling balls to juggle on his face. Well, then it gets interesting.
"The World's Most Dangerous Comic" or Mark "the Knife" Faje isn't exactly a one-trick switch-blade-emblazoned-flaming pony either. He's got jokes, and has performed or opened for numerous bands from Pearl Jam and Marilyn Manson to Nelly and John Mayer, to name a few. Aside from his appearance on "America's Got Talent," Faje has also been seen on "Late Night with David Letterman" and "Ripley's Believe It or Not."
Luckily for Chicago, Faje is not only performing two of his gasp-inducing acts, but it's "free" with a $10 returnable deposit. The shows are on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7pm and 10pm at Aloft Loft, 2041 W. Carroll Ave. Tickets and further information available at their Brown Paper Tickets site.
