Pimps-4-Tots Toy Drive at Chemically Imbalanced Comedy

November 21st, 2011

Chemically Imbalanced Comedy and Bucky’s Planet Productions is proud to announce that CIC’s long running show Pimprov will be collecting non-violent toys this holiday season for the Neopolitan Lighthouse; a domestic abuse shelter located in Chicago. For the past 3 years Pimprov has taken up donations for various battered women shelters at their shows, and last year started the Pimps-4-Tots toy drive. Statistics show that 3 million children a year are affected by domestic violence. This is our way to help the children have fun during the holiday season.

Starting Friday November 25th and continuing the entire month of December we will be offering $3 off admission with a new unwrapped non-violent toy. Last year Pimprov’s toy drive brightened the Christmas of 13 different children housed in a shelter. $3 off discount per person is not good with any other offer and is only valid on full price ticket purchase.

Hailed by critics and audiences alike, Pimprov is one of the most original and hilarious unscripted shows in town! Yes… it’s Pimps that improvise. It’s that simple.

Pimps Vs Zombies

November 1st, 2011

See what happens when pimps on their way to a Playas Ball run out of gas right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It’s rumored that a legendary Mac has magical pimp items stowed away in a hideout. I wonder if they’ll find it.

Pimps vs Zombies is from the comedic minds of the nationally known improv group Pimprov. Who else would give you hot zombies, a 1970 Buick Electra, Gorilla Slap Gauntlets, The Scepter of Pimpitude, The Bottomless cup of Cognac and a Bat.

You can see them perform LIVE every Friday night at 10:30pm at CIC!
