UPDATE: Conan O'Brien gets sweet, live revenge with two shows at Chicago Theatre; both sold out
NBC’s creative miasma is your personal gain: Conan O’Brien, recently ousted in the name of desperate times/desperate measures and assuaging Jay Leno’s massive ego, is filling his contractually mandated downtime by bringing his comedy gang—including sidekick Andy Richter and the (Fired From) The Tonight Show Band—to a city near you under the banner, "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour (A Night Of Music, Comedy, Hugging, And The Occasional Awkward Silence)." O’Brien’s first-ever live tour includes a May 19 stop at Chicago Theatre; tickets are on sale now through teamcoco.com.
UPDATE: According to Conan's twitter, a 2nd Chicago show has been added. Better act quickly—tickets for the May 19 show have already sold out.
2nd UPDATE: And they're gone! According to a press release, both shows have sold out.
