In May, we blogged about the beginning of the 2011 Philly's Phunniest competition, the yearly contest to find the funniest standup comedian in Philadelphia. All summer long our local jokesmiths have been serving up their choicest observations, their most potent punchlines, their leanest tags and least-awkward callbacks. The final round is tonight, and eight of the city's very best will be throwing down for an important credit in their resume: Philly's Phunniest.

If you consider yourself a fan of the Philadelphia comedy scene, this is more or less the can't-miss night of the year, so snatch up tix for this super showcase while you can. And good luck to the contestants: John McKeever, Pat House, Mike Rainey, Gordon Baker Bone, Gary Vider, Pat Barker, Chip Chantry, Andy Nolan, Tommy Pope, and Daryl Charles. Stay tuned tomorrow, when we'll announce our Philly's Crown Clown 2011.

Tonight, $8 p.m., $20-$27, Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St., 215-496-9001, heliumcomedy.com.
