One time slot, three amazing shows…

Arguing with a Quadriplegic – Jim Fath
Veteran Performer Jim Fath (Of the Chicago Reader named “Best Sketch Group” Hey You Millionaires, and Impress these Apes) is not leaving Chicago without a Fight… and a solo show where he fights a Quadriplegic.

Comedogenic – Paul Thomas
“Their mix of absurdity and plausibility makes all of [Thomas’s sketches] funny. **** (4 stars) – Time Out New York

“Gut-Bustingly hilarious…Thomas has compiled wild hour of scenes and Vignettes, filled with great writing and punch lines.” – nytheater.com

Ted and Melanie – Jet Eveleth & Paul Brittain
Jet Eveleth (The Reckoning) and Paul Brittain (Topaz, Mike Helicopter) create the scripted show “Ted and Melanie” inspired by scenes from their improvised show. Longform improvisation provided the foundation for the entire show and creates a sense of spontaneity that can only come from the stage. They are willing to play characters that are vulnerable and flawed in hopes to surpass the intellect and to discover something more human.

“…fine improvisers who patiently find and expose the tension between characters, making them desperate, vulnerable, and hilarious to observe…You really have to hang on to every word—but that’s easy to do with Eveleth, whose shape-shifting face is rich with emotion and humor.” —The Chicago Reader

“Very funny, with a razor sharp sense of timing.”- New City

Starring: Jim Fath, Paul Thomas, Jet Eveleth, Paul Brittain
