Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle want to show you how funny Chicago is. 

In their acclaimed Comedy Central show, South Side, they bring to life a particular brand of Chicago humor as they chronicle the day-to-day lives of two South Side residents trying to make it big in business while working at a rent-to-own shop (a narrative they can relate to). 

In this special program—an extension of their groundbreaking podcast collaboration "South Side Stories"—these two powerhouse comedians will explore their idiosyncratic process, how Chicago’s unique brand of humor impacts the show, and how South Side mirrors their own journey to creative success.
