  		• THE CLASS OF CHICAGO COMEDY FEST - AUG. 9-11 AT WESTSIDE COMEDY THEATER IN SANTA MONICA - BRINGS A COMEDY CLASS REUNION OF SOME OF THE BEST WINDY CITY COMICS FROM A DECADE OF HILARITY, COURTESY OF RADIOTITANS.COM AND THE WESTSIDE COMEDY THEATER!
    Thousands of people move to LA each year in the hopes of making it in showbiz. Some of the most intense competition lies in the world of comedy, and many of the funniest people in comedy have come from the Windy City, Chicago.
    Some hit it big, some make a decent li...ving and some love the art but opt out of the competitive aspect of comedy. But when you come from Chicago, you share a bond that's never forgotten. And now, the Westside Comedy Theater and the red-hot new web-radio station www.radiotitans.com are offering a rare chance at a reunion for those who walked Chicago stages as standups, improvisers and filmmakers in the '90s and '00s.

    The Class of Chicago Comedy Festival is bringing together at least two dozen comics from that era of Chicago comedy together for a three-night special event that will also offer Los Angeles comedy fans
    unprecedented bang for their comedy buck. Here's the announced official lineup, featuring such stars as:
    TJ Miller (Cloverfield, Unstoppable, ABC's "Carpoolers")
    MIke Siegel (national club headliner, countless TV credits)
    Bil Dwyer (Comedy Central's "Battlebots", "Tonight Show" six time comic)
    Jimmy Dore (Jimmy Kimmel Live, KPFK"s "Left, Right & Ridiculous")
    Renee Gauthier ("Carson Daly")
    Tom Clark ("Craig Ferguson" show)
    and some of the hottest improv troupes in America: BEER SHARK MICE, QUARTET and more!.
    PLUS we pay red-carpet tribute to the long-lost, now-rediscovered legendary short filmmaker WILLY LASZLO as he screens nearly a dozen of his classic works while our ace team of film historians
    shine a spotlight on his illustrious career, prior to the debut of his first film in nearly a decade. Reclusive, mysterious, and very very funny...the world shall finally give Laszlo his due!!!
