Get your May Pole to full staff with these 5 shows...
Here's a HIGH FIVE's WORTH OF AWESOME for you to select from tonight:
1. Janeane Garofalo with special guest Marc Maron at the Lakeshore Theater
Janeane Garofolo is not only a movie, TV and radio star, she is also one of the original foundation voices of the now booming alternative comedy scene. From her stand-up comedy beginnings in the late 80's featuring trademark thick black rimmed glasses, Garofolo has proven herself over and over as a staple of modern comedy. She sells out stand-up shows across the country in between her film and television roles including a recurring role on the hit FOX television show "24".
3175 N Broadway
773-472-3492
Tonight 7:30pm, 10pm
$29.50
2. 'Improvised Shakespeare' at iO Chicago
Based on one audience suggestion (a title for a play that has yet to be written) The Improvised Shakespeare Co. creates a fully improvised play in Elizabethan style. Each of the players has brushed up on his “thee’s” and “thou’s” to bring you an evening of off-the-cuff comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. Any hour could be filled with power struggles, star-crossed lovers, sprites, kings, queens, princesses, sword-play, rhyming couplets, asides, insults, persons in disguise and all that we’ve come to expect from the pen of the Great Bard. The night could reveal a tragedy, comedy, or history. Nothing is planned-out. Each play is completely improvised, so each play is entirely new!
Upcoming shows:
Friday, May 01 @ 08:00 PM in the Del Close Theater - tickets are $14 (FREE for iO students)
