February 6   PHUNNY BUSINESS: A BLACK COMEDY
Phunny Business: A Black Comedy  is a bittersweet valentine to All Jokes Aside, a little known, but extremely influential, black-owned Comedy Club. Comedy, race and Chicago politics collided at this cultural gem and we hope our humorous telling of this story will provoke discussion, and in some small way, promote a greater understanding between the races.                                                                                    
In Person:  Raymond Lambert, local comedians
