Ken Garr grew up in the Ashburn neighborhood and had a solid south side life in Tinley Park. Then he left his job, sold everything, and became a stand-up comedian. Ken visits with South Side Pod this week to talk about his journey, have a few laughs and discuss his new comedy special Ken Garr: American Hero. We also visit Heights Cycle, a new business in Palos Heights that proves it is more fun to work out in a crowd.
