Description
A bittersweet valentine to All Jokes Aside, a little known, but extremely influential, black-owned Comedy Club. Comedy, race and Chicago politics collided at this cultural gem and we hope our humorous telling of this story will provoke discussion, and in some small way, promote a greater understanding between the races.

What Second City was for "Saturday Night Live," a Chicago comedy club was for virtually every black comedian who emerged in the 1990s. All Jokes Aside was a black-owned enterprise that seemed to have infallible taste in talent, perhaps because it was the only club in the country that didn't relegate blacks to "special nights" or "Chocolate Sundays." Its opening-night act was Jamie Foxx, then unknown. It introduced or showcased talents such as Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Hughley, Carlos Mencia, Jamal, Sheryl Underwood, George Wallace, Bill Bellamy, Dave Chappelle, Adele Givens, and on and on, including the personnel of the touring Kings of Comedy and Queens of Comedy..

'Phunny Business': Showtime documentary looks at South Side comedy club All Jokes Aside.
On the night All Jokes Aside opened, more than two decades ago, the headliner was a young comedian named Jamie Foxx . In footage from that night, he looks thin, rangy and less certain than the swaggering Oscar-winner he became. The comedy club itself looks a little uncertain, too. At first, it rented space from an art gallery. There was no real lighting rig; when a comedian took the stage, employees would stand off to the side and, at the count of three, simultaneously plug in their spotlights. And the stage itself, small, square and sad, was just a rental.
