Check out this great little review of Dummy, who will start back up with CIC on Wednesday nights starting March 10 at 8pm.
We went on a whim while we were visiting Chicago, really having no idea what to expect. What an unexpected surprise! I absolutely loved this place.
The theatre is tiny, apparently a converted living room, but that’s part of what makes this place so great. You have to walk backstage to go down the hall to the bathroom. We quickly realized that people embrace the BYOB policy, some bringing beer and others even bringing wine.
We saw Dummy, part of the imrov showcase that features 3 groups doing their own short shows. It was hilarious! The improv groups were great… I was laughing hard at all 3 of them. (Housekeeping, an all-girl group that I believe was called Scrunchie, and the featured group, Dummy.)
I love everyone that performed for having the balls (yes, the girls too) to get up in front of a crowd and do this stuff. Dummy were quite obviously the most experienced, but I really enjoyed seeing the other groups as well. A bunch of really talented, funny people. I thought Scrunchie were especially funny out of the first two groups.
I am so glad I found this place, and the next time I visit Chicago I’ll be sure to come back. Show your support for this great little venue… they need it!- Ben S. 5 Stars
