Another visitor from Chicago! This time it's Joe B.

Joe B. and I met at Second City Conservatory three years ago. He was my teacher, the first one that actually made the process of learning comedy fun. Last year I asked him to coach my i.O. improv team, Psychoplasmics, and he agreed. Joe B. has taken on a clear mentorship role over the years. Before I moved to Boston he said "I don't know what you need professionally, but I know I need to be ready."

Wednesday night he sat in with Deep Dish. Later, at Micah's house, we started talking about our favorite Chicago memories.

Joe B: Did you know the city has, like, 50 falcons to regulate the pigeon population? They live downtown on the high rises. I've seen them in action twice. Once I saw one swoop down and grab a pigeon off the street. But the other time, I looked up and...BOOM! An explosion of feathers. The falcon got a pigeon in mid-air.
