Last night's Redacted, a benefit at the Hideout for 826CHI that was sponsored by the A.V. Club, brought out the nation's best comics. Pics after the jump.
The lineup:
• Dan Telfer (who also hosted)
• Cameron Esposito
• Eddie Pepitone (whose documentary The Bitter Buddha opens tonight at the Siskel)
• Amy Schumer
• Kyle Kinane
• Pete Holmes
• Patton Oswalt
• Janeane Garafalo
• Brian Posehn
• Hannibal Buress (appearing Saturday at Chicago Theater)
• Aziz Ansari (performing two shows tonight at the Chicago Theater; tickets still available sold out)
In short, it was brilliant.
