This Too Shall Slap

Ever heard of this show &#8220;Hamilton&#8221;?
Shamilton is just like that, but (ahem) better! Expect the same level of hip hop, incredible songs, moving storytelling, stunning choreography and powerhouse singing&#8230; except made up on the spot.
The New York Times called Shamilton “One of the top 5 comedy shows to catch”.
Comedy supergroup Baby Wants Candy presents &#8220;Shamilton!&#8221;, the Hamilton-inspired hip hop improvised musical created in 2016 in LA and playing to sold out crowds all over the place, including the Kennedy Center in DC, a national touring company and weekly sold out shows in New York and LA.
Join the Shamilton cast as they improvise an epic musical based on a historical figure or celebrity of your choosing&#8230;including Genghis Khan, Kim Kardashian, Mr. Rogers, or even basketball playing superdog Air Bud. You decide!
It&#8217;s the show Lin-Manuel Miranda calls, &#8220;cease and desist!&#8221;

SHAMILTON, THE IMPROVISED HIP-HOP AMERICAN MUSICAL!

Smart, hilarious, and full of surprises, this is one laughter-filled ride you won’t want to miss.

Second City Presents – Thank You, Goodnight

Brace yourselves, bookworms and romantics! We invite you into a world where sweeping romance, dancing adventures, and heart-pounding twists come to life right before your very eyes! Improvised Romantasy takes the enchanting tropes of your favorite BookTok romantasy novels and weaves and original tale.
Whether it’s fated soulmates bound by destiny, a brooding hero with a tragic past, or a love triangle so spicy it could ignite a dragon’s fire, our cast dives headfirst into the fantasy fever dream of your wildest imagination. And don’t worry – there’s always a touch of well-placed innuendo to keep things satisfyingly entertaining.
Come for the forbidden romance, stay for the shirtless heroes (imagined, sadly – but who’s counting?).

Improvised Romantasy

Queers and Fears is a wickedly funny sketch comedy revue where the monsters are gay, the closets have skeletons, and the only thing we have to fear is our own internalized homophobia. From cursed hookups to ghost stories about being ghosted, this spooky celebration of queer survival blends sharp satire with blood-stained glitter. Come laugh, scream, and sashay into the shadows—because in this show, pride is a scream.
