Check out this great new Pimprov review from the Chicago Reader — and be sure to check out the show, every Friday night at 10:30pm!
PIMPROV
If pimpin’ ain’t easy, pimprovising must be even harder. But the five members of
Pimprov project a scary ease as they dress and cavort like “Super Freak”-era Rick James (only with more accessories) and smoothly assimilate audience suggestions into thug-themed short-form games. The group stays heavily engaged with the crowd throughout this high-energy show, bringing people onstage and carrying on multiple side conversations during and between bits. What I enjoyed most were their hilarious, spontaneous dancing (from tap to b-boy) and varied characters. These are no one-trick pimps: at the show I saw they shrewdly played everything from north side trixies to blue-collar Chicagoans.
