Dick Gregory Booked for Two Shows at The Promontory Point

Easily described as a walking encyclopedia, author and former comedian, Richard Claxton, “Dick” Gregory, is known for his no-holds-barred discussions on politics, race relations, religion, conspiracy theories and other relevant topics. Now Gregory fans in Chicago will get a rare chance to hear the outspoken orator, this month during two shows at The Promontory, a new, dinner and music venue in Hyde Park, where he'll be discussing the recent Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations and the recent police shooting in Ferguson, Mo.
