Jamie Lissow spent over 20 years traveling the nation as a regular working comic, respected but admittedly not a big-name draw. But in the two years since he became a frequent guest on Fox News’ comedy talk show “Gutfeld!,” he’s been riding a wave of success that has seen him attract over 20 million viewers to his Drybar comedy special “Something Awesome.”
He’s performing two shows at the inaugural 312 Comedy Festival — Nov. 3 at Zanies Rosemont and Nov. 4 at Zanies’ Old Town location — and he’s thrilled to return to the Chicago area. For it was at a prior Zanies show that he first realized just how explosive an impact the talk show was having on his career.
