Chicago Reader Recommends SEX!

Yep, you read that right.

Our production of SEX a.k.a. Wieners and Boobs is Chicago Reader Recommended!

Here's the full review:

"Written by three alums of the memorably bizarre TV sketch show The State, this antic 1998 farce gets its first Chicago staging from Chemically Imbalanced Comedy. Equal parts sharp self-awareness and broad buffoonery, it feels like something that could have been written yesterday—at least under Angie McMahon's whip-smart direction. The story, such as it is, concerns a Teaneck, New Jersey, sheriff's battle to rid his town of the evil Tad Theaterman, who controls a local empire of hookers and gigolos and is known for what he calls his "asshole ways." But the show's real strength is its unrelenting train of gags, and McMahon mainlines them with a wide bore. It's a powerful combination of intentionally dumb material and eagle-eyed comedic execution." —Keith Griffith

Here's a preview of one of the incredibly talented groups performing tonight:

Rhythm Method does Rock n' Roll improv comedy: 6 guys, 1 girl, 2 guitars and a bandolier of harmonicas.
Rhythm Method will headline Snubfest's late-night show on Saturday, August 25 at 10:30 pm. 

They've been snubbed by the Chicago Improv Festival and the Del Close Marathon. We say, who DOESN'T want to hear an improvised song about menstruation? A simple sentence ends with a period.
