The biggest LAFF is just a week away

Funny? Ya think?

It's a gender-based thing, more or less. It's a comedy-based thing, most definitely. This fifth annual festival brings the funny in from all over the country – L.A.! Chicago! Boston! NYC! San Antonio! – for three days and nights (May 5, 6, 7) of unstoppered hilarity of the sketch and improv and stand-up and even short-film varieties.

And who, precisely, will be part of this weekend spectacular? Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting. Jen Kwok. Firth & Arjet. We're From Here. Girls Girls Girls. Selena Coppock. And, yes, many more.

We'll have a full schedule in print next week – and an interview with the producers, too – but right now we recommend you check the website and make your reservations while there are still tickets available.
