Marc Maron didn't ignore the fact that he spent almost a decade being banned by Acme Comedy Co. Maron, who was here this past Thursday through Saturday, referenced the Star Tribune article.about owner Louis Lee's frustrations with him (http://www.vita.mn/story.php?id=141809663) at the top of his monologue most nights. He then launched into a great, but sordid story about the last time he played Acme.

Before Thursday night's show, I caught up with Maron and talked to him about his starring role in Nick Lowe's new video, "A Serious Man." You can watch it here:
