It's been bitterly cold recently... in the teens and single digits overnight... and yet we wound up traveling to Zanies in St. Charles (at Pheasant Run) to catch a comedian/story teller/great guy that we saw last May, TV's Craig Ferguson.
He was in-town to do 3 nights, one at each Zanies (Chicago last night, St. Charles tonight, and Vernon Hills tomorrow night).
He seemed to enjoy Chicago back in May... this time: not so much...
How Craig opened the show:
I am SO glad to be here, I cannot tell you... I don't mean St. Charles, I mean here, in the warm. Here...
I don't know you are still alive... any of you!
I never experienced anything like this in my... I KNOW cold! I nver been around anything like this in my LIFE!
I KNOW what cold is! I was married to a Scottish woman! I KNOW COLD!
