Popular stand-up comedian and Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari ["treat yo' self!"] announced on his Twitter page that he's coming to Chicago for a secret pop-up show on Wed., Sept. 3rd. Tickets are $35, and can only be obtained through entering an online lottery.

Once prospective audience members enter their information, they'll then be texted on Monday, Sept. 1, in the afternoon if they've indeed won two $35 tickets. The site then instructs winners to text back to confirm.

The lottery is to even the playing field amongst potential audience members "so everyone has a fair chance for tickets and it's not just people who are hyper active on Twitter and see a link in 2 seconds who ever get tickets," according to the site.

Ansari previously played the Chicago Theatre back in May. He ate at Next in 2012, and the experience evidently made for memorable Parks and Rec fodder.
