Yup, you read that right. Amy Schumer, current comedy It Girl with the lacerating wit, just announced a last-minute show at Constellation tonight. We knew she was going to be in town for a few weeks for the Oddball Comedy Fest in the amphitheater in Tinley Park, but it appears she's making an early stop to set up shop in the decidedly much, much smaller Constellation tonight.

You don't get many chances to see someone currently throttling the cultural zeitgeist within an inch of its life in a room this up close and personal so hurry up and grab tickets now. Opening for her will be musical guests Jason Stein's My Silence, featuring Mike Reed & Nick Butcher.

Tonight, at Constellation, 3111 N. Western, 7 p.m., $15 - $20, 18+

UPDATE: And to the surprise of no one, according to Ticketfly the show is now sold out.

UPDATE 2: Now Ticketfly is saying there will be "tickets at the door." Um, good luck!
