Impress These Apes, our favorite comedy/talent show judged by apes from the future, wraps up another successful run tonight in a finale that will crown the Season 5 champ Least Pitiful Human. it's been a fantastic season that included some terrific pranks, a birthday party for a seven-year-old, a guy humping a sandwich, and a surreal night that involved all eight contestants adding new lyrics to the song "Strokin'." Tonight's challenge is simple: impress the apes. Rob Anderson has a sizable lead but there's still room for someone to leapfrog him for the title. Not only does the finale often offer some of the more epic results from contestants but it's usually a sure-fire sellout so be sure to get there early.

Impress These Apes Season 5 Finale, TONIGHT, 8 p.m., ComedySportz, 929 W. Belmont, $10
