1. Laugh your tail off at Chicago Underground Comedy

Check out one of Chicago's best weekly comedy showcases tonight at Beat Kitchen. Tonight, ChUC presents: Stand Up and Debate, a totally free show for anyone in need of a midweek pick-me-up. (Beat Kitchen, 2100 W Belmont Ave, 9:30pm. Free)

2. Assemble a team of cinephiles 

Power down your smartphone and put your otherwise unused movie knowledge to the test as teams of up to five battle it out for the prize of a theater gift card and gloating rights. You'll want to show up a little early at this Tuesday night tradition to secure your team's spot. The categories change each week so it's anyone's game. (Logan Theatre, 2646 N Milwaukee Ave, 8pm. Free)

3. Belt out Bohemian Rhapsody with a bunch of strangers at Wayne's World 

Some movies are just meant to be seen outside with a huge group of strangers brought together through common fandom, and this cult comedy classic is undoubtedly one of those movies. Out of the 200-plus screenings Movies in the Parks has packed into this summer, this incredibly quotable and iconic film is sure to be a fan favorite. Grab a blanket and party on. (Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark St, 8:30pm. Free)
