This week’s issue of the Chicago Reader contains a ballot for readers to write in their picks for the “Best of Chicago.” There are several categories, from Architecture to Education, but the one we’re most excited about is Comedy.
The individual contests in the comedy category are as follows:
1. Best stand-up
2. Best improviser
3. Best improv group
4. Best sketch group
5. Best place to see improv/sketch that isn’t iO or Second City
Of course, as a CIC company member I’d like to see someone I know win every slot! But if we could garner a mention in just one contest, it would be the fifth. I don’t want to sway your vote, but if you’re thinking about including the Chemically Imbalanced Theater on your own ballot, please consider us for “Best Place to See Improv/Sketch That Isn’t IO or Second City.” As we say at the top of every show at the CIT, word of mouth is our best friend. Voting in a public poll like this is a great way to spread the word!
The Comedy ballot can be found here. Voting closes on May 19th and the results will be published June 26th.
