Second
I, the Mysterious Guest Blogger, have just returned from my second visit to the Second City.
For those not in the know, the Second City is Chicago's most celebrated comedy club, responsible in part for launching the careers of such comedy luminaries as Jim Belushi, Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Mike Myers and Bill `Ghostbusting' Murray, among many others.
It was a funny evening.
On a (tangentially) related note, what is Bill Murray's best movie? Suggestions welcome below, and a prize for the right answer.

So do I.
You're all wrong. Probably. It's obviously Cradle Will Rock. Also the best film of Hank Azaria, John and Joan Cusack, Vanessa Redgrave, Susan Sarandon, John Turturro, Jack Black...
`Deserving of Hollywood's highest accolades.' So no good, then?
And speaking of groundhogs, please reassure me that no one's thinking of Groundhog Day.
What's that film with Geena Davis and a clown? That was nice. Or Broken Flowers? Then again my taste in films has suffered undergone a disturbing metamorphosis recently.
I have nightmarish memories of Caddyshack on Channel 5 late one night.
I think most people undervalue 'Stripes' a hilarious slapstick whistlestop affectionate take on the American Army and the mid-life crisis. Of particular note is the denouement, where a militarized camper-van is used in a daring raid on Communist Czechoslovakia ... with hilarious consequences.
I'm surprised no-one has yet mentioned the amazing 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'.
Maybe Steve is on the right track with Jarmusch. What about that scene in `Coffee and Cigarettes'? Bill vs. The RZA and The GZA. Genius.
Of course, Steve's Jennifer Aniston obsession must be taken into account. He probably thinks `Along Came Polly' is better than `Ghostbusters'....
I love `What About Bob?'. It's a great movie. Richard Dreyfuss performed admirably in the face of Bill's comedy genius.
But then, what do I know about the MGB's taste in movies?
