We've all done dumb things when drunk.
But in the case of local comic Sean Flannery, these dumb things nearly cost him his life
— a dozen times.
Flannery recounts true tales of absent-minded idiocy at his one-man stand-up show
Never Been to Paris, running Thursdays at Ontourage's Comedy Bar through March 8.
In one story, Flannery (voted best stand-up comic in the 2010 Chicago Reader poll)
recounts how he almost died when his car drove off a cliff in his native Cleveland.
The funny part? He was wearing his “fake referee” jersey from his job at Lady Foot
Locker, and was most concerned about dying in such a ridiculous outfit.
Flannery peppers his 1-hour show recounting (literally) shocking job interviews and other
near-misses with photo and audio evidence to ramp up the absurd hilarity.
You'll walk out feeling comparatively competent and mature. Till the next round.
