Since March, Chicago comedians have been battling it out, round by round, for the ultimate Edge $3500 Comedy Competition. This Sunday, June 17, at the Garv Inn (6546 Windsor Avenue in Berwyn) is the final showdown. 150 comedians are being whittled down to a final four.

"Three of these folks will walk away with the $2000, $1000, and $500 prizes: Dustin White, Joe Kilgallon, John Markham, Cameron Esposito, Benny Harris, Mike Sheehan, Tony Werner, Ryan Andrews, Haji Outlaw, and Matt Wayne. Hosted by Dave Odd, headlined my Prescott Tolk." Next week the four winners will perform in their own "Showcase of Champions".
