  2. Funny or Die's Adam McKay on his site's comedy influence after five years

    Five years ago this month the influential comedy website Funny or Die took a few baby steps and uploaded its first video, a rough, hastily assembled sketch that starred, appropriately enough, a baby. Pearl McKay was 2 years old at the time, the daughter of parents deeply rooted in Chicago — her mother, Shira Piven, grew up in Evanston, the sister of actor Jeremy Piven. Pearl's father, Adam McKay, got his start in the Chicago comedy scene in the early '90s, then left in 1995 to become a writer at "Saturday Night Live." The video was called "The Landlord" and featured Pearl screaming at McKay's comedy partner, Will Ferrell. Back then, expectations for Funny or Die, which seemed like just another mingling of originally produced comedy videos and user-uploaded material, fell somewhere in line with scores of other, similar Hollywood-Internet hybrid misfires — remember Dot Comedy (NBC), Pop (Steven Spielberg) and SuperDeluxe (TBS)?

  4. Film festivals for many tastes this weekend

    We're heading into a crowded weekend for film fests in Chicago, with no fewer than three major events competing for attention. This kind of overlap is far from ideal, but then again filmgoers are a self-selecting bunch, and the three festivals on tap speak to distinct interests. I'll take a closer look at two of them, while my colleague <a href="http://bio.tribune.com/MichaelPhillips">Michael Phillips</a> tackles the 28th Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival this week in Specialty Screenings.

  6. Sketchfest's return unearths more comedy gold

    Much as we like to boast about Chicago's long roster of homegrown comedic talents (insert meaningful nod in the direction of Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert), audiences can sometimes forget how deep the local bench is at any given moment. But then every January, the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival, which continues through Sunday, comes barreling into the new year on a wave of good vibes and damn-the-torpedoes energy. We all need a reminder of the quality of not-yet-name-brand talent that's out there right now, and the fest consistently delivers. And at an affordable price, no less.
