Aziz Ansari, one of comedy's biggest names, will headline this year's much anticipated Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, also featuring big names Jay Pharoah, Nick Kroll and T.J. Miller, among others. In preparation for Oddball, Ansari performed a surprise show at Zanie's last Thursday, much to the delight of Chicago comedy fans. Very Special Guest at Oddball, Amy Schumer, also performed a secret, surprise show at Constellation, most likely prompting more fans to attend the nationally touring fest, only in its third year.
The rich lineup for this year's festival brings together some of the best established and up-and-coming comics alike, making for a stacked night of great comedy. Big Jay Oakerson is set to host the Redd's Apple Ale Festival Stage, which is rumored to feature special guests of the highest caliber from Chicago's comedy scene.
If you want to see the summer's best lineup of big name comics, head out to Tinley Park this weekend. You won't be disappointed.
