“Out of the Loop” is a new documentary about Chicago’s stand-up comedy scene (available on streaming services 4/11/23).

The people speaking in the doc represent a “who’s who” of Chicago comedy, including Hannibal Buress, Jeff Garlin, Deon Cole, Erica Clark, Tom Dreesen, Chris Redd, Kyle Kinane and the late, wonderful, Judy Tenuta.

Joining me to talk about the documentary is its producer, the very funny Dwayne Kennedy (he also appears in the film). As I mention at the start of the interview, he’s far too credentialed for this podcast. He won an Emmy for his work on CNN’s United Shades of America. He wrote for the Arsenio Hall show and the Orlando Jones show. He’s also appeared on Seinfeld and Martin. Dwayne’s a very funny man.

See Dwayne at Zanies on Wells on May 17! Watch the documentary starting on April 11.
