This week's guest is none other than BABS Comedy Club owner and operator Emily Ramirez! Emily and her husband Chase are slowly creeping up to the 1 year anniversary of the opening of BABS in downtown Forest Park, IL. She brings in all types of shows into the club besides just stand up comedy. For example, they do improv shows and even 'kid-prov" shows. Her husband and her bought the building and built BABS comedy club from the ground up!

Welcome back to another episode of TorgyTalk. This week we had the pleasure of sitting down and talking to Femi! Femi is original from Nigeria and has been doing stand up comedy in Chicago for 2 and a half years. He dives into a little bit of how it was growing up in Nigeria. We talk about how Jon would not be able to handle any of spicy food that Femi grew up eating. Femi has been killing it in the Chicago Roast Battle scene and continues to grow more and more as a very skilled and hilarious comedian. You can go see his act all over the city and I would highly recommend that you do he is definitely one of the big up and coming comedians in the Chicago scene!

This week's guest is Ruben B! Ruben is a very funny up and coming comic by night and a factory worker by day. Ruben is coming up on his 1 year mark in comedy very soon, and also has a hilariously dry delivery. This episode we talk a little bit about how Ruben got into comedy, reading the comments in dirty videos and had a decently long talk about our favorite sports. Jack Mann was not able to make it this episode which is why that was able to happen! We hope you all enjoy this week's episode of TorgyTalk and we will see you next week!

This week we are very lucky to have Jason Seiler joining us via video call! Jason is a full time artist, and comedian. He has quite the resume, opening for big acts such as Steve Byrne, Kevin Nealon, and Michael Rapaport. Jason shares his experience of his first time doing comedy, which is not your standard start! Jason is an amazing artist first and foremost. He has done work for huge magazines like TIME and more recently he does all the covers for MAD Magazine. Jon unfortunately was pranked and fell for the fact that Dane Cook was going to be headlining the show he was doing. We left it in because it led right into a great conversation. Jason also produces a monthly show in Yorkville. This is a great episode packed full of amazing stories and insight from Jason Seiler. Thank you so much for tuning in! We will see you next week!
