ROFLMAO

hrc-logo.gifWith all the sad events this past week, Chicagoist needs a good laugh. This weekend, get your fill of giggles at Laughing Out Loud, a two-night event featuring gay and lesbian comedians in support of the Human Rights Campaign.

ant.jpgTomorrow night comedian Vicki Shaw opens for the "often flamboyant and irreverant actor/stand-up comic" ANT, who was interviewed in January's issue of Instinct Magazine. We recently listened to Ant's new CD, "Follow My Ass" and couldn't stop laughing.

marga.jpgSaturday night the event features New York City comedian Marga Gomez. Eddie Sarfaty, currently appearing on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend!", opens the night.

Jack Plotnick, actor and voice of Xandir P. Whifflebottom on Comedy Central's "Drawn Together", hosts both nights.

Tickets are available on-line for $35 and $50 and proceeds go to a great cause. The show starts at 8 p.m. at The Park West Theatre's Main Hall at 322 W. Armitage.
