Phunny Business: A Black Comedy

Phunny Business: A Black Comedy (What do you get when you mix comedy, race, and politics?)

A bittersweet valentine to All Jokes Aside, a little known, but extremely influential, black-owned Comedy Club. Comedy, race and Chicago politics collided at this cultural gem and we hope our humorous telling of this story will provoke discussion, and in some small way, promote a greater understanding between the races.
