It's been a bit! After the new year I sit down with my friend and one of my favorite performers in Chicago, Le Aboav. They walk me through how they got into comedy, the lucrative field of American Sign Language interpreting, and what it's like to be crushing it every day (something I know nothing about). Le's a gem and who seems to have their hands in all the best shows in Chicago: Tuxedo Cat, Chill as Fuck (formerly), and all over Lincoln Lodge.

This week I sat down with Le Aboav to talk about their mega periods and a bloody bedroom encounter. Le runs two shows called Strip Joker and Tuxedo Cat. Follow Le: https://www.instagram.com/witch_woolf Our live story comes from Mandee McKelvey who talks about growing up with breasts that developed very differently from each other. Mandee was named one of the Top 50 Undiscovered Comedians by Thrillist. She runs a show called Character Assassination at the Chicago Laugh Factory the first Sunday of every month. The show has expanded to three cities.

Brittany Meyer vs. Le Aboav and Xavier Lamont vs. Marty DeRosa Recorded live at North Bar in Chicago, IL! Music by Yung Zucchini

Today, we are going to take a journey. This journey will lead us down some queer paths. There will be twists, turns, and a Willy Wonka tunnel segment, but I guarantee you that it’s worth the trip because today, we are talking to Le Aboav. Le is a hilarious comedian I met years ago at a comedy show called CAMP at the Village Tap, where they were telling punchlines about bicycle shorts. Since then I have seen Le evolve into the fun-loving, openly pervy, and very witty comedian they are today. This interview took on a slower pace, but I think that added even more weight to the heavy subjects we discussed. Le exposes a fear that most of us will never know. One that comes from a realization that your very existence is doubted, looked down on, or even ignored by society. Gender is a spectrum, not a binary.   Watch the performance here: https://youtu.be/NbYlv6W56UU Watch the performance with commentary here: https://youtu.be/vmvSt5zVFcU

An introduction and primer for my new show; Performance Revue! The teaser contains clips from interviews with the following performers: Matt Brown, telling us what impression he wants to leave on his audience. Jillian Ebanks, discussing the conundrum of being both a feminist and a Drake fan. Le Aboav, talking about their gender identity and how it can impact a performance. Samantha Berkman, opening up about the origin of her comedy superpowers (if you happen to be either of her parents, you might want to skip this section). Episode 1 drops this Friday (October 26th)!

Cody is joined by comedian/performer/interpreter Le Aboav and comic/writer Matt Brown to finally become the men we never were but were always meant to be(head)! You can find your copy of the book in THAT GUY’s “Man Cave".   'Real Men Don't Apologize'  by Jim Belushi   In this "guys guide to life," the star of the hit TV show According to Jim talks about how men can continue to be real men while still managing to make things work with the opposite sex Jim Belushi is a national celebrity who has starred in numerous movies as well as the current hit TV show airing on ABC, According to Jim. His "guy's guy" take on things led to a huge following among both men and women who cant get enough of Jim and his irrepressible take on life. Now he's sharing his unique perspective with a funny new book about dating, marriage, and sex that is sure to hit home with every redblooded American male and the women who love them. Any guy will relate to Belushi's self-discovered advice from the school of hard knocks. In character with his TV show, Belushi has strong opinions on how real men should act, and he relates his ideas with the trademark irreverent humor that has made him famous. Sample chapters from Real Men Dont Apologize! include: How to Be a Man  How to Get a Phone Number  Boot Camp for Men  Sex and the Single Man Over 18  and many more!
