The 2011 Just for Laughs Chicago comedy fest has some big talent, from Seth Meyers to Whitney Cummings. The event takes place at venues across the city, and features acts from all corners of the comedy world.

While the big names are a draw, so too are the hometown talent, like Cameron Esposito. It’s her third year at Chicago’s Just for Laughs. On June 15 at the Playground Theater in Lakeview, she’ll debut her one-hour show: Side Mullet Nation. She joined Eight Forty-Eight to talk about the show, as well as the much-maligned ’80s hairstyle.

The TBS Just for Laughs Chicago comedy festival runs June 14 -19.
