from: About.comThough last night's performance by Tim Minchin at Chicago's Lincoln Hall provided the "soft opening" of the 2011 Just for Laughs Chicago Festival, tonight is the night the fest begins proper with performances from Jo Koy, Ron White, Rodney Carrington, Jim Breuer, Dave Attell, Jim Norton and Bill Burr.
This years festival runs through Sunday, when it concludes with an incredible-sounding performance from Steve Martin and Martin Short.
The Just for Laughs Chicago Festival has become one of the premiere comedy festivals in the United States, so if you're anywhere near the Chicago area during the next week, you owe it to yourself to stop in for at least one show. You can check out the schedule here.
