Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2156 W. Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612
Part Soul Train, part The Banana Splits, Chic-a-Go-Go was a raucous cable access television show that ran in Chicago from the late nineties to 2015 and occasionally since. The brainchild of Jake Austen and Jackie Stewart, the show was shot on a shoestring budget, with in-studio children-and-adult dance sequences, short films, live puppets, guest cameos, and lip-synced indie rock performances by bands including the Red Kraylola, the Scissor Girls, the Goblins, Bobby Conn, and the Dishes, to name a few.
