Stop by the Hideout at 8pm tonight where Claire Zulkey and NPR's John Green will be hosting Funny Ha Ha II, a second night of Chicago's funniest performers and writers.

Scheduled to appear are humorist Mark Bazer, THE2NDHAND's Todd Dills, author Amy Krouse Rosenthal (yesterday we wrote about her new book), McSweeny's Leonard Pierce, Poundy.com's Wendy McClure, and the San Francisco Chronicle's Annie Logue. There will also be a short film by Steve Delahoyde and The Onion AV Club's Nathan Rabin.

There's a suggested $5 donation to get in and all the proceeds benefit Free Street, a group that "opens the potential of youth through theater and writing to be creative, active participants in their own destiny." Chicagoist will be there so keep your eyes out for us and be sure to say "hi!"
