Spotlight: Creative Control
Creative Control is a new series produced and hosted by Joe McAdam, of the popular Late Live Show. The show is produced at saki, a Logan Square record store and art space, and is off to what promises to be a strong start with an impressive first lineup.
Musical guests Mannequin Men join local comics Cameron Esposito, Joe Fernandez and Andrew Smerker, with videos and sketches curated by McAdam. There are no boundaries at Creative Control: artists and performers are given the freedom to express themselves however they choose, as long as it's funny.
The great thing about this show is that it's completely free and BYO. Producing a show of this sort in a record store is a new and welcomed change from the usual dive bar or theater. The show takes place the final Friday of every month, beginning this Friday, April 27 with doors at 7pm. This month, audience members will have the chance to win tickets to see Jon Benjamin and Kumail Nanjiani.
My recommendation: go see this show. More information on Facebook.
