Big congrats go out to Pimprov who will be featured on the Chicago Improv Festival Main Stage for the first time this year.
Dates of the show are still TBA…we will keep everyone updated!
Goldstarevents.com audience members weigh in on this weekends Pimprov:
Very naughty, very clever. Audience beware, they are merciless if they smell blood. Ask my sister who had one of the “pimps” in her face, she had to cover her face with a towel, she was laughing so hard.
-4 stars
A lot of times it is hard to describe our popular show Pimprov. Here is a recent video taken in our space. You really have to see it…

Need a laugh? Check out these 12 fresh comic talents—the best of the scene right now
BY ROBERT BUSCEMI
Chicago supports a vast, roiling population of young comics tearing up stages around town every night of the week. But for anyone who’s ever gambled on a night of comedy and lost, we identify a dozen who rise above the pack but are mostly still flying under the radar. (We steered away from comedians recently profiled in this magazine, including Hannibal Burress, Susan Messing, and Nick Vatterott, as well as perennial headliners such as the regular casts for The Second City’s Mainstage and e.t.c., the sketch quintet Schadenfreude, and the beloved comedy duos T. J. and Dave and Bassprov.) All five of the Second City performers listed here travel with the Touring Company but appear at the Old Town venue on Saturday matinees and Monday evenings; the box office can tell you when.
MARZ TIMMS, 35
Chicago Improv/sketch/standup
Timms, a Dadaist in sensibility and “nerdy, yet urban,” will stop at nothing for a laugh. In the coat-and-tie-wearing percussive duo Tony Symbals and Cocoa, the baby-faced Timms plays only a tiny set of cymbals, accompanied by the imposing Keith Smitherman bashing away at a drum kit made for a child. The two take absurdly long, silent onstage bottled-water breaks between numbers. Timms elicits even more squeals with Pimprov, a dressed-to-kill, so-wrong-they’re-right all-black quartet so funny you’ll shoot beer through your nose. NOW PLAYING: Timms is a member of The Annoyance Theatre. Also, catch Pimprov in an open run Fridays at 10:30 p.m. at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater.

The Chicago Comedy Examiner named Pimprov one of the 5 best Halloween shows to catch in 2008!
Tickets are still on Sale. Get them while you can!

Steering you right since just the other night
Funny characters played by skilled performers who go beyond relying solely upon easy stereotypes to find “the funny” in a scene.

It is HILARIOUS! Go see it! I had a great time, and laughed so hard I almost cried. The opening act was just OK, but Pimprov itself was fantastic!
