If you want your humor fast and twisted, check out these two comedy shows:
Cards Against Humanity Live takes its name from the irreverent card game, and returns for a one-night-only show hosted by “You Are Beautiful” artist Matthew Hoffman. Cards Against Humanity Live plays 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25, at the Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave. Tickets are $10; call 773-404-7336.
Also check out the very queer late-night sketch show 26, which takes its inspiration from the ABC’s of Death horror anthology. Presented by Pride Films and Plays, 26 continues at 10 p.m. Saturdays through Sept. 23 in The Buena of the Pride Arts Center, 4147 N. Broadway St. Tickets are $10; call 800-737-0984 or visit PrideArtsChicago.com.
