Mike Royko was Chicago's most popular columnist. He wrote about the city the way its people like to think of themselves: tough, cynical and with compassion for the little guy. For over three decades, Royko captured the spirit of Chicago through his incisive, poignant, and often uproarious commentary. Dubbing Mayor Richard J. Daley "Boss," he fearlessly tackled corruption and championed the everyday citizen.
"Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago" is a dynamic one-man show that weaves together his fiercest columns, candid interviews, and highlights from his bestselling book. This multi-media experience not only revives Royko's indomitable spirit by reflecting on a Chicago gone by, but also find echoes of todays America in his timeless words.
