George Wallace: Bringing Wit and Wisdom to the Laugh Factory
When you think of stand-up comedy legends, George Wallace is certain to come to mind; the avuncular comedian, who got his start in New York City and later wrote for "The Redd Foxx Show," is in Chicago for the first time in over a decade to perform at the world famous Laugh Factory, 3175 N. Broadway.
Named by Comedy Central as one of the "100 top stand-up comedians of all time," the quick-witted Wallace, who's also the self-professed "King of the 'Yo Momma'" jokes, has a career that spans over thirty years; in 2004, he began headlining and producing his own nightly shows in the heart of the Las Vegas strip at the Flamingo Hotel, enjoying record numbers of sold out performances along the way.
Catch George Wallace tonight through Sunday, Sept. 2; get tickets here or call the Laugh Factory box office at 773-327-3175.
