Looking for good alt comedy open mics in Chicago.

Do you know of a fun, alt comedy open mic in Chicago?

I'm a Boston comedian looking to do some stand up in Chicago when I'm there in two weeks. I found a list of comedy open mics online here, but am having trouble sifting through it. Any recommendations?

I've had some positive experiences at Hog Head McDunna's open mic night.

Chicago Underground Comedy is a good start.

I was thinking the same thing as me3dia. I like their Tuesday shows at the Beat Kitchen, but those are booked, not open mic's I think.

Beth Stelling (google for myspace / facebook) runs a variety show that includes comics Sunday nights at Town Hall Pub.
