Paper Machete, the weekly variety show at the Green Mill, is always free, fun and fabulous, but this week's line-up is especially notable. Chicago native Brian Babylon of NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! is the headliner, along with Dominizuela, Katie McVay, Daniel Sharr, Ike Holter, Chad the Bird, burlesque dancing by Sarah O'Dwyer and musical headliners The Wabash Cannonballs.

Paper Machete takes place weekly at 3pm on Saturdays at the Green Mill Jazz Club, located at 4802 N Broadway. Since this week is Uptown Saturday Nights, take a free walking tour of the Uptown Entertainment District after the show. Tours depart at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm from Shake, Rattle, and Read, literally steps away, at 4810 North Broadway.

Brian Babylon is from Bronzeville, and while he no longer lives in Chicago, he has quite a following here, so get to the Green Mill early for a good seat!
