We first met Bill Cruz 13 years ago in Chicago when he was a young man just getting into stand up comedy. At the time, he seemed to be the only out gay comedian in town. We were thrilled to have him perform at our live show held at a Vietnamese banquet hall.
Bill’s act didn’t go over well that night. Thankfully today Bill is considered a powerhouse in Chicago’s comedy scene. His annual showcase, “Bill Cruz’s Top Ten Comics I Wanted To Fuck: Presents the Sexiest Comic in Chicago Tournament and Pageant” featuring thirty eight straight identifying male comics, is a huge success.
We aren’t sure if he won the title of Sexiest Comedian but that mouth is giving us blow up doll realness, which I’m sure is what Bill usually goes for.
Sadly, our friend Bill is moving to Los Angeles to pursue comedy. Lucky for you, he’s in the studio one more time before the big move.
