Chemically Imbalanced Comedy: A Well-Balanced Show
This is another of those shows that is constantly changing every week, so we can’t guarantee it’ll be an awesome time. We CAN guarantee that we had an awesome time. Chemically Imbalanced Comedy takes place at the Cornservatory, a BYOB stadium-seating theater with a Jewel next door. Mmmmmm, cheap beer and comfy seats, the venue is great before we even mention the show.
Every Saturday at 10:30pm (Does “pm” need to be said? Who wakes up before noon on Saturday?), one stand-up comedian hosts three different sketch/improv acts. Last week Cameron Esposito hosted Pronounced, Angerstein Street, and Cyclops Baby (pictured). Highlights of the night included “You remind me of the lead robot in this science fiction book I got for you,” “This is how I masturbate in the office, “That girl said you raped her,” and an impressive knowledge of Wonder Woman facts. Strangely, we were most disturbed by the guy who knew way too much about Wonder Woman.
So while we can’t similar hilarity ever week, we can promise this Saturday a line-up including Yeti, Basic Eight, and 21st Century Men, hosted by one of our favorite stand-ups, Bill Cruz. Drinking cheap beer alone is sad; doing it at CIC is just economical.
Chemically Imbalanced Comedy. Saturdays at 10:30pm. $10. The Cornservatory: 4210 N Lincoln. CIC Box Office: 773-865-7731.
