The second in a series of closing shows at the Lincoln Lodge, local favorites C.J. Sullivan, Fay Canale, Brady Novak and hilarious expatriate Kumail all make appearances. Sullivan is a comic’s comic, a master of timing, sarcasm and hard work. Regularly recording his sports Internet radio show, “Visitor’s Locker Room,” at the Lodge, it is only fitting Sullivan helps close out their season. The other large, white comic on the bill is Brady Novak. Regularly seen at the Lakeshore Theater, Novak is both uniquely funny and making his exodus to a coast later this year, so get while the getting’s good and see him before he splits. Female powerhouse Fay Canale, known for her edge, filthy mouth and swagger, is an important member of the Chicago stand-up scene, and her unpredictability makes every set an event. Rounding out this particularly solid lineup is Kumail, formerly one of Chicago’s funniest comics, having recently moved to N.Y. (Of course). (Max Minor)
