Description
WESTERN SPRINGS, IL — Pat Tomasulo, WGN's morning sportscaster, will perform as a comedian at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at the Theatre of Western Springs, 4384 Hampton Ave. Because of Tomasulo's popularity, a second show has been added at 10 p.m., according to a news release. Due to mature language, parental discretion is advised, the theater said.
"I am a television personality, stand-up comic, writer and producer based out of Chicago," Tomasulo wrote on his website. "Those are a lot of labels, which suggests either A) I am a prodigious talent, or B) I'm not really excellent at any of those things. I really have no idea at this point."
A sports anchor and reporter, Pat Tomasulo joined WGN-TV in 2005. He is one of the main hosts on WGN Morning News, creating segments like "The Pat-Down" and "The Voice of Reason." He's also a standup comedian, performing in shows across the country.
"Pat Tomasulo is returning to TWS to regale our audiences with his witty banter," Ann Marie Hultgren, chairwoman of the Performance Series, said in a news release. "We are thrilled to have him return to our stage."
In August 2009, Tomasulo was voted one of the top five broadcasters chosen to sit alongside Kelly Ripa as co-host to "Live! with Regis & Kelly" as part of a nationwide promotion. He was also one of the hosts of "Shaq Vs," a nationally televised reality show featuring basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal.
The evening is part of the theater's Performance Series, which raises funds for the theater. Tickets to the event are $30 for theater subscribers; $35 for non-subscribers. Call the theater's box office at 708-246-3380 or buy tickets online on the theater's website.
