Turkey, Stuffing, Susan and Mick, with a side of Barinholtz, please?

Tomorrow you will eat yourself in to a coma again.

Why not take the family out to see a show tonight?

You know you don't really wanna talk to them... so why not laugh together at some of the best comedy this city has tonight.

You can pick one of 5 AMAZING shows!

1. Messing With a Friend features Susan Messing, and Mick Napier as well as John, Alan, and Ike Barinholtz.  A collection of self-edited improvised scenes based on a single suggestion. Dirty. Funny. 10:30pm. $5. At The Annoyance.

2. TJ and Dave is one of the most critically acclaimed improv shows in the country, Second City alumni TJ Jagodowski and David Pasquesi promise “this is all made up” as they create a 45-minute showcase for elaborately imagined characters whose relationships reveal the wildly funny quirks of human nature. 11:00pm. $5. At iO Chicago.

3. The Lakeshore Jumble is an eclectic mix of comedy, karaoke, guitar hero, burlesque, and FREE mini-massages. This week the Jumble features comedian Robert Hines from Comedy Central and BET. Your chance to share the stage with the nations finest comedy & musical talent. A hump-day party. 8pm. At The Lakeshore Theater. Call 773-472-3492 and mention the code: MIXED BAG for a deal on tickets.

4. Chicago native John Caponera gets worked up easily—particularly about junk mail, our country's education system and unscented deodorant. Tickets: $25 plus two-item minimum. 8:30pm. At Zanies.

5. Big Fancy Open Mic at the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts. It's the same old open-mike antics, but with a swanky new CCPA stage... AND IT IS FREE!!! 8:30 pm.
