Alright, so I have some major personal news today. Many of you know this, but if you don’t….
I am moving. I am moving to Boston, Massachusetts with my fiancée, Kate, or “The Kate” as many of you know her on Twitter or Facebook. Well, the Kate got into the PHD program at Boston College so at the end of July, we are shipping up to Boston.
Obviously we’re going to miss Chicago, especially all of our friends here, but we are, uh… “wicked” excited about the move.
So, the question is, what does the move mean for the Matthew Filipowicz Show? Well let me tell you, as far as the show goes, it means… absolutely nothing.
One of the joys of the show is, I can essentially do it from anywhere. We record the interviews and the comedy over the interwebs, over the series of tubes, so, there won’t be any changes.
I do want to announce, if you are in the Chicago area, my last Laughing Liberally Chicago will be Wednesday July 6th at No Exit up in Rogers Park. For those who haven’t been to Laughing Liberally Chicago, it’s a great time. A free political variety show with cheap beer. What more could you want?
So it should be a great night. Chicago people, I hope you come out. If you haven’t been, it’s kind of like a live version of this show. And it’s free, so you have no excuse.
People have been asking me, what’s going to happen to Laughing Liberally Chicago? And Drinking Liberally Chicago? The answer is essentially nothing, except I’m not going to be running them anymore. Laughing Liberally Chicago will still be run by the Accountants of Homeland Security. We’re actually going to create an official regular cast of Laughing Liberally Chicago. Adding, actually, a lot of the performers you hear on the Matthew Filipowicz Show.
So, both will, in fact, go on… which is important to me. We have a great community of liberals and friends here in Chicago, and we are really going to miss the hell out you guys.

Hey everyone,
As you may have heard, the Heartland Cafe, which also owns No Exit, recently experienced some financial troubles. Things are looking better, but because the owners Michael James and Katy Hogan have been so good to us, we decided to make the next Laughing Liberally a benefit show!
It should be a great night! It’s the night after the election and we have an awesome lineup.
