One of the up and coming Chicago comics I spotlighted in my Newcity piece, Pat Brice, was found dead in a hotel at a wedding last Sunday (cause of death isn't known, pending toxicology report). It's an incredibly sad tragedy for Chicago comedy. Local comedy blog The Bastion has a collection of comics' thoughts, as well as a showcase of Brice's work.
