Fudge

From the event description:

"Fudge" is an evening of comedy and music brought to you by the independent improv team Fudge. Comprised of Damian Anaya, Tim Lyons, Vince Portacci and Dan White, Fudge's goal has always been to exist at the intersection of creative disciplines. Every show's unique atmosphere is directly influenced by that night's musical and comedic performances, which either compliment or juxtapose one another. Half concert, half comedy show, "Fudge" is a wholly unique experience unlike any other comedy show in Chicago.

When: Tuesday, Nov. 12, 8 p.m.
Where: iO Theater, 1501 N. Kingsbury St.
Price: Free-$6

She the People

From the event description:

Doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, young or "seasoned," progressive or conservative (ok that last one might matter a teensy bit) — you're bound to find "She the People" laugh-out-loud funny. The sketches are short and fast-moving. You'll barely recover from one zinger before the next one flies your way. Snacks and drinks served by the attentive wait staff make the night a win-win.
