WHAT: The ComedySportz Theatre is planning 3 fun shows on Valentine’s Day. They will have men vs. women themed shows, party favors and a photo booth. “ComedySportz is a great place for a date,” says SocialintheCity.com President Lynn Gargasz. “The show is hysterical and wildly entertaining no matter how old you are. It is also clean and that is so important because you don’t want to laugh at something your date might find inappropriate.”

Benefit for Gilda's Club, and most recently, the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival. Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune says their work is "Refreshing and memorably enjoyable …a show worth catching…far better than some far more expensive relationship musicals in town." Nina Metz of New City says, "Sharply original...will make you laugh." Ryan Hubbard of the Chicago Reader says, "With savvy director Brian Posen at the keyboard, the Cupid Players are a musical sketch comedy machine, churning out intricate song-and-dance numbers full of I-can't-believe-they-just-did-that humor and making them look easy."
