MY LIFE IS A JOKE

Laugh, cry...and then laugh until you cry as you meet five of Chicago's funniest female comedians. Patti, Kellye, Lisa, Natalie, and Jessica are bound together by friendship and the shared desire to make it big by making people laugh.

Can they keep 'em laughing as they struggle to pay bills, raise kids, maintain relationships, and work mind numbing day jobs?
