100 Club Fundraiser
- You have the right to remain laughing! The City of Chicago has over 12 thousand police officers. They are known for their service and bravery, but usually not for their levity. Laugh Factory Chicago is interested in changing all that with a new stand-up comedy night: Laugh Patrol - a competition to find the funniest police officer in the Windy City.
Laugh Patrol is a night of "all-cop comedy" which will be open to Chicago's finest in all 23 districts. During the evening, 20-25 officers will have 3-5 minutes on the world famous stage to serve up some laughs for the community. Laugh Factory will provide the audience; all of the night's proceeds will go towards the 100 Club of Chicago, providing for the families of law enforcement and fire fighters killed in the line of duty.
Contestants will be judged by a panel of professionals (including Joseph Ahern,) and the winner will receive $1000 worth of Laugh Factory gift certificates to distribute. Second and third place finishers will receive vouchers worth $500 and $100, respectively. Age restriction: 18 years and over 2 drink minimum per person (can be non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage)
We've known some funny coppers who should have been doing standup years ago. Maybe a few of them will be there?

The funniest part of this is that they claim the City has over twelve thousand police officers.
Oh. Maybe they're counting university police, hospital police and railroad police in the total.
Pooted my pants laughing at the part about "over 12 thousand Police Officers..."
Well... Cop humor IS "different."
What other job exists where you have to distill and filter the unexplainable?
"The presence of shitty panties and a party hat near the scene at 42XX N. Hermitage indicates that..."
SOMETHING. Happened? O_o?
...And other such! XD
SCC,
I read your blog daily, just a quick question. Are props allowed, i.e. a small scale streetlight,
Thanks,
G.M.
That winsted boy from 007 was a funny guy when he used to make fun of old watch commander JJ.
The Superintendant should try out. His crime is down routine has kept me laughing.

Why didn't they think of this 20 years ago. Roger Wilson would've been great on stage.
RIP sir.
Put Jimmie Curry on stage.
It's not fair. McCarthy will win, hands down. All he has to do is his Comp/stat act. It is easilly the biggest joke in town.
Did you hear about the copper with 5 penises? Every time he bought condoms, they fit like a glove!
Since this job is pure comedy, this should be easy.
True story.. Quite some years ago a m/1 fell from the elevated platform of the CTA and landed right on top of the hood of a patrol car that was parked while the officers inside enjoyed a cup of coffee. The m/1 rolls off the hood of the patrol car onto the ground, apparently unhurt he gets up, dusts himself off and says to the stunned officers " Hey office, can you tell me what time it is?" This story was told by one of my old partners who was in the parked squad when it happened....
What's the deal with these blue light camera poles?
What's the deal with Garry's stashe?
How many coppers does it take to lower homocides in Chicago, about 12000....Yo!!!!
Thank you I'll be here till Thursday, please tip your waitress.
Someone should do a rahm and gary routine- with the old hand-puppets that professional ventriloquists used to entertain with- it would be a total hit. You'd have the whole audience splitting their sides with all the material they've given us!

Just a fact Check it out with the pension board or on clear. Pension board has figures of how many are paying into the pension and clear list the number by rank
So are there no funny people in the units? Oh wait, they are magicians.

Two coppers from the old deuce took a guy to Michael Reese. He had been stabbed and held his guts inside with his arms. They had him sit on the trunk of the squad car and drove slow to the hospital. They didn't want to get the inside all bloody.

"Just a fact Check it out with the pension board or on clear..."
With that said... Why is it NO ONE can get a straight answer regarding why we're so short handed in Patrol and coppers are having such a hard time getting time off to attend to family business?
Why is EVERY DISTRICT down 200 or more officers in manpower compared to as recently as 10 years ago?
Where the HELL did so many Policemen just up and disappear to?
>CRICKETS... MORE CRICKETS...<
You have great faith in those "official" City Hall sourced numbers and no belief in what you see in roll-call or on the streets with your own eyes...
Not to blow smoke up my butt but been retired a couple years and can match Jeff Dunham. Few props and have crowd roaring. Like I say-Retired-so don't really give a fuck! And NOT politically correct Tiny n McDrunk. Can go back to 81 when I came on the job and "tell truth" from then until 2011. From bosses to mayors to other coppers to fool citizens. Like a roast but funny. Some of those fucks deserve it. IT's a comedy show kids. I'll see.
Curry and Luce. Best comedy show I ever saw. Those guys together would be splitting the jackpot.No question.

Hey, if you breed a Shih Tzu dog with a Poodle do you get a Shiht-Poo
If curry is gonna be on stage let me know. My buddy Grillo would love to catch his act.
The funist guy I ever saw was Johnny SCALISE from Area 4.
Never ending all night domestic...
Old g/f was throwing rocks, ringing the door bell, busting windows all damn night...
Finally caught her ass at when she bum-rushed the new g/f at 0630.
Enroute to the station, she was begging for a hurry-up... "I gotta shit really BAD!"
"You shoulda thought about that while you were acting a fool all damn night."
"PLEASE! I GOTTA SHIT!"
The fates, furies and spirits of the air flung a big pot-hole underneath the car...
Never before and likely never since has such "orgasmic" sounds been attributed to one's coal chute involuntarily locking opening in the back seat of a squad...
Seriously. Her eyes rolled up in the sockets as she was experiencing the most colossal colon blow this side of Krakatoa...
"AAIIEE! WOOOOO! WOOO-HOOOOOOOO! WHOOO-HOO-HOO-HOOO! EEYAHHHH! WAHHHH! I JUST SHITTED ON MYSELF!"
Repeat loudly & hysterical crying while being dragged past the AM rush at the district desk.
Fun times...
Tommy Marshal ...... indeed

I've had friends killed in the line of duty who's families were well taken care of by the 100 Club. Go fuck yourself.
Hope the event is a success and well attended. I'm going back over 30 years, but Shannon from 006/022 comes to mind.

Maybe because the bosses wont approve the time off. As far as patrol being short, where have you been, details, everyone is being detailed, not transferred to these special units.
As far as disappearing, look in CAPS, front office, commanders office and special details within the district. Dont think they are complaining about not being able to get time off or being short
The long retired Reverend Jimmy "JJ" Creighton from 005.
The 100 Club has doled out over $9 Million to families of those lost in the line of duty... so I'm delighted to take part in this event! I personally know some of the families (as do you!) who benefit from their good work.
Rabbi Moshe Wolf and I will be competing with a dozen or so coppers for funniest jagoff alive.
We hope you'll join us to support such a great cause!
