Steve Delahoyde, Jared Logan and Robert Buscemi are arguably three of the funniest men in Chicago. Delahoyde has been putting together hilarious short films for a few years now, Logan won “Best Comedian” at the First Annual Chicago Comedy awards and Buscemi is not only a 2006 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival finalist, he’s also one of local stand-up’s stars. The three of them are together for a one-night-only show at Annoyance Theater as “Three Dumb Men”—they’ll mix stage and screen performances together for a unique blend of holiday hilarity. Jenni Lamb, Brady Novak and Kristen Studard are also set to appear. (Mike Schramm)
“Three Dumb Men” at the Annoyance Theatre, 4840 North Broadway, (773)561-4665. This production is now closed.

Right now, we’re facing some of the same issues, such as huge migrations from the workplace. Steinbeck shone a light on his time, and I hope we’re able to do the same.”
