Just Announced Conan O'Brien gets sweet, live revenge with two shows at Chicago Theatre

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, which is the closest the tour is getting to Milwaukee; tickets are on sale now through teamcoco.com. Better act quickly—tickets appear to be selling fast.

UPDATE: According to Conan's twitter, a 2nd Chicago show has been added.
