Shannon's been giving tours of Chicago for about a year now, and she gave an hour of her time in the off season to tell me about what works, what doesn't, and who the biggest troublemakers are on her laissez-faire bus tours. She gets the opportunity to cater tours however she wants, so she's had a great time diving into more of Chicago's darker, more realistic history. I love that one of Shannon's favorite aspects of touring is finding out about the customers and what brought them to Chicago. I can see why the Venn diagram of comedians to guides overlaps quite a bit.
