Funny Ha-Ha is a monthly reading series at the Hideout, hosted by local author and all-around funny person Claire Zulkey. The series has consistently brought in funny and heartwarming performances, but tonight's lineup also includes two folks near and dear to our hearts: Current Chicagoista Kim Bellware and former Chicagoisto Scott Smith.

The rest of the lineup includes drawer of cats Blewt! Production's Steve Gadlin, self-proclaimed "World's Most Famous Salvadoran-American" BoyGirlBoyGirl's Edward Thomas-Herrera and short-filmmaker Steve Delahoyde.
