The inaugural Just For Laughs (Chicago) has added some more names to the lineup, and announced that it will bestow Chicago native Harold Ramis with a Lifetime Achievement Award on June 16 -- not-so-coincidentally, Ramis also will screen his newest comedy, Year One, which stars Jack Black and Michael Cera and goes nationwide June 19.
Added to the bill at the Lakeshore Theater: Jim Breuer, Danny Bhoy, David Cross, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and Jon Lajoie.
And befitting Chicago's improv heritage, there'll be a Best of Sketchfest, featuring the six top sketch groups from the Windy City's January fest, and an all-star improv jam called Chicagoland.
Just For Laughs (Chicago) 2009 will run from June 16-21.
