1. Must be from the Chicago Reader

3. We can leave the Company Name out of it if you like (it is not about the show it is about the review)
4. Must not be a show we have already done (we have done about 20 over the past year)

Chicago’s most talked about comedy,
and subversive buzz, buzz, buzz show
Comes to The Lakeshore Theater
BAD REVIEW
Chemically Imbalanced Comedy’s hilarious show comes to the Lakeshore Saturday Nights June 30-July 28.
Chicago- The Lakeshore Theater’s artistic director Chris Ritter, together with Paul Provenza, director of the hit film The Aristocrats, presents Chemically Imbalanced Comedy’s hit improv theater show Bad Review will be performing Saturday Nights at the Lakeshore Theater, 3175 N. Broadway.
The Chicago-based Chemically Imbalanced Comedy team creates a hilarious and unique show each time they take the stage with Bad Review by taking the worst theater review from the Chicago Reader and improvising the show to what they feel the Reader’s critic would have rather seen. The result is a one-of-a-kind, laugh-out-loud sensation that the Chicago Reader highly recommends, saying it is “fixated on easy pop references, but the sarcasm was thick and zany…a truly professional improv production, with efficient blackouts, precise lighting, timely and clever musical touches and a perky pace.”
Created and directed by Angie McMahon, Bad Review recently played for a sold-out audience at Chicago’s downtown “Looptopia” all night festival, receiving rave reviews from critics and audience members alike. Bad Review has performed at the LA Improv Festival, Toronto Improv Festival, Donny’s Skybox in Pipers Alley, Chemically Imbalanced Comedy’s ENCORE shows and a guest night at The Annoyance Theater.
From mega-comedians to rising stars to undiscovered treasures, the Lakeshore Theater brings only the highest quality, edgy, alternative comedy and music to Chicago night after night and features an accommodating staff, fair ticket prices and an awesome entertainment experience. There’s nothing funny about a two drink minimum, so the Lakeshore has a “drink what you want” policy. Bad Review will be performing Saturday Nights at the Lakeshore Theatre at 10:30 p.m. June 30-July 28. Tickets are $5 and are available by calling TicketWeb at 866-468-3401 or by visiting www.lakeshoretheater.com.
