Radio host, podcaster and comic Brian Noonan will headline “Lucy’s Comedy” at Raue Center for the Arts in Crytal Lake on Friday night.
Ahead of his show, I had a chance to chat with Noonan about his long career in radio, including stops at Midwest powerhouses WGN in Chicago and WTMJ in Milwaukee.
We also discussed Noonan’s approach to standup, and how his time in radio and improv training help him on stage, especially with crowd work.
Noonan also describes how crowd work is good for both the act and the audience, but that it can also end up being too much of a good thing.
We round out our chat by discussing a new project that Noonan is taking on with Chicago media legend Dean Richards.
