Chicago's own WGN TV sportscaster is heading back to TWS for another wild and not ready for family time stand-up show.

A sports anchor and reporter, Pat Tomasulo joined WGN-TV in 2005 and quickly became a fan favorite. He is one of the main hosts on the top-rated WGN Morning News, creating signature segments like “The Pat-Down” and “The Voice of Reason.” He’s also an accomplished standup comedian, performing in shows across the country.

Due to popular demand, 7:30 show is sold out and a second show has been added for 10pm.

Mature language, parental discretion is advised.
