Join some of Chicago's finest stand-up comics tonight for a benefit show to raise awareness and funds for Nepal. For only $25, all the food you can eat and all the beer you can drink is yours, in addition to a show featuring a veritable who's who of the Chicago stand-up scene. Tonight's show features "Prince of Bronzeville" Brian Babylon, the Visitors Locker Room's CJ Sullivan, producer of Chicago Magazine's Best Open Mic of 2010 Adam Burke, funkmaster Ricky Carmona (HBO Latino), and Boystown darlings and all-around lunatics The Puterbaugh Sisterz. This roster is hosted by Chad Briggs, most recently featured in the Just for Laughs Chicago Comedy Festival this past June.

The fundraiser is the brainchild of Alex Montgomery, who explains a little about S.E.E.D.S, the organization your dollars will be benefiting: "The organization is dedicated to developing rural Nepal through various methods like creating health clinics, supporting schools and sponsoring advanced education for rural children," she says.
