Jill + Julia = jubilation!

By Sun-Times Wire

Don’t know about you, but we really need a good laugh this weekend. And what luck: Two intelligent, funny gals have teamed up for what must surely be a really intelligent, funny show. It’s the Jill & Julia Show, featuring former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Julia Sweeney and the original “I Kissed a Girl” songwriter, Jill Sobule, touring with “a delightful set that mixes witty songwriting with a little bit of social commentary.” Tickets still available for tonight’s show, 7:30 p.m., at the Lakeshore Theater.
