Dan Savage's annual amateur pornography fest, HUMP! has become one of our favorite annual events since the Chicago-native began taking the tour on the road.

HUMP! is back in town this April with four shows at the Music Box Theater in Lakeview, plus a live taping of the Savage Lovecast, Savage's weekly sex advice podcast, the night before. Tickets are on sale now.

Savage, a longtime sex advice columnist for The Stranger in Seattle, has been curating the annual film fest since 2005 with a selection of top five-minute-long shorts, filmed, acted in and submitted by amateur pornographers and fans of his show. This year's list of films us full of decidedly NSFW innuendo and puns. A sampling:


Cake Boss - Beat until stiff - unlike any other whipping scene you've seen in HUMP!
I Fist a Grrrl - How come we never get invited to houseparties this exciting?
Hysterical Bullshit - A dedicated but distracted reader attempts to get through Mike Huckabee's Gods, Guns, Grits and Gravy.
DICK - For anyone who thinks there wasn't enough dick in HUMP this year.

HUMP! hosted by Dan Savage, is playing at the Music Box Theater, 3733 N. Southport Ave., on April 8 and 9 at 7:00 and 9:30 p.m., and tickets are $25. A special Savage Love Live is being taped Thursday, April 7 at the Music Box, and will cost you $40 a ticket. Tickets to all shows are on sale here.
Updated: Two Saturday showings have also been added.
