It's been a funny seven weeks at ComedySportz where the eight contestants of Impress These Apes have given it their all in an effort to, well, impress the Apes. And it all comes to a head tonight as the eight contestants go all out. The challenge? Just impress the Apes. But that's not the easiest thing to do and if history is any judge, the contestants will pull out all the stops in order to wear the crown of "Least Pitiful Human." Be sure to swing by their site and spend the remainder of your afternoon catching up on the contestants' performances in preparation for tonight's finale. Only 12 points separates first place from last place and special fourth judge will be there tonight to add to the drama.

One of our favorite local comedy troupes - Impress These Apes - is back for another go-around of fun-filled shenanigans. Eight new contestants are back to compete for the prize - being declared "least pitiful human" - by making three apes laugh which is no easy feat. Each week brings a difficult challenge and this year is sure to be no different. Before tonight's big debut, be sure to first catch up with this year's contestants. You can do this by checking out their auditions and then their audition call-backs in which they had to tell their life story in two minutes. All of this has hopefully prepared them for tonight's challenge: lyrical karaoke, in which each contestant has been given a song except they have to write and perform the song with new, original lyrics.

Our weekend comedy show round-up!

A few months ago, Ann Sather packed up and moved a few doors east into a brand-spankin’ new location at 909 W. Belmont. The old location was put up for sale, and it was anyone’s guess who would win the bid to settle in. It always makes us nervous when there is retail space for rent in our neighborhood; because we would rather see a distinctive new business that will bring character to the area, instead of another Starbucks, Jamba Juice, or Potbelly’s.
