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!

Strap in and spiral out – The Second City’s 49th e.t.c. Revue takes sketch and improv comedy to brilliantly unhinged new heights. The Chaos Theory of Everything blends razor-sharp satire, audience interaction, and clever, character-driven comedy to explore how wildly connected (and deeply chaotic) it all really is. Smart, hilarious, and full of surprises, this is one laughter-filled ride you won’t want to miss.

UP’N COMING – CATCH CHICAGO’S RISING COMICS BEFORE TV DEBUT

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

Step inside a world of wills, trusts, and deadly secrets in the improvised comedy: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way. Inspired by Agatha Christie, seven improvisers will weave together a made-up murder mystery, sparked by the audience&#8217;s suggestion of an unusual inherited object. Who will uncover the secrets and who will pay the price? In this family nothing is certain &#8230; except that someone won&#8217;t make it out alive.
Savagely funny and shockingly intelligent, Clued In is “infectiously fun” (Marissa Oberlander, The Chicago Reader). High Stakes Productions is collaborating with the world famous Second City to bring this thrilling and hilarious improvised experience to life and this is your opportunity to claim your seat for this immersive theatre experience. Each show someone new will be done-in, can you figure out who dunnit alongside the detective?
