Big Dog Eat Child and THINK TANK are two of the Chicago sketch comedy groups that have been selected to advance in the annual International Sketch Comedy Competition™, which showcases some of the world’s best sketch comedy talent.

The Chicago round will be held on September 7 @ 8:00 at the Barrel of Laughs Comedy Club in Oak Lawn. Five sketch groups will duke it out before a panel of judges, and only one will continue on in the competition. Two other rounds will be staged in New York and LA, and the overall winners will perform at the I.S.C.C. finals at the new Laugh Factory in Los Angeles on September 25, 2007.
