by In case you’re missing it, TBS Just For Laughs Chicago began its weeklong run with shows earlier this week — but you don’t have to be in Chicago to enjoy and experience some of the laughs with your own eyes and ears.
The Dailymotion Comedy Showcases began last night and continue each night through Saturday, hosted by Andy Daly (HBO’s Eastbound & Down, the upcoming Review with Forest MacNeil for Comedy Central) at 7 p.m. Central.
The sets are live in person in Chicago, and live online via Dailymotion.
You can catch recaps from last night’s showcase featuring Brendon Walsh, Cameron Esposito, Sean Patton, Ever Mainard and Mike Lebovitz.
Or tune in tonight and throughout the week for live performances from Adam Burke, Johnny Pemberton, Jermaine Fowler, Michelle Buteau, Sam Simmons, Drew Frees, Renee Gauthier, Julian McCullough, Sean Flannery, Bridget Everett, Mike Stanley, Ben Kronberg, Baron Vaughn, Liza Treyger and Ben Roy.
