In the green room at Zanies in Chicago, I catch up with Alex Edelman who I haven't seen in five years. Since I met him at the SoGymnase theater in Paris, France.

His rise through the Edinburgh Fringe has been nothing short of amazing. The guy crushed his first year, knocked it out of the park his second, and got more good reviews his third year than have ever been given out before.

We have a ridiculous conversation in between shows in the Zanies green room, with guest swoop-in from hilarious Chicago comedian Toby McMullen.
