The Double Door hosts the Pundamonium: The Chicago Pun Slam tonight at 8:00pm in its Door No. 3 space. Ten contestants have to come up with puns on the spot on a given topic, and as the contestants get whittled down to the punniest, the reaction times get shorter and shorter. It's puns-on-demand! Details on the event at the Double Door Website. Double Door: 1572 N. Milwaukee.
