Friday Linky Roundup - Shows A'Plenty
Scrappy upstarts Doppelganger are putting on "V is For Vacation" at midnight Friday in Donny's Skybox at Second City. Tense tales of Chicago vacation woes, in funny form.
Whirled News Tonight's show "Newspeak" is on at IO on Saturday at 8 in the Del Close Theater. Much mockery of modern newsmedia is forecast.
Schadenfreude's Rent Party is tonight at 9 at the Gallery Cabaret. Brilliant comedy not enough of a draw for you? One word: burlesque. One phrase: "The Ass That Goes Pow."
The Edge Comedy Showcase will be at Pressure Cafe at 8:30 on Saturday. Stand-up! Espresso! Billiards?
Don't Spit the Water will splash you good Saturday at 10:30 at the Playground Theater. Splash you good, we say!
The Spitfire Coalition of (all-female) sizzlin' stand-up sillies is throwing their second show, the Spitfire Comedy Power Hour, tonight at 8 at the Cornservatory. Also featured will be the Star and Garter burlesque gals. Burlesque? Are we seeing a pattern here?
If you find yourself sitting around this weekend and whining that there's nothing fun to do, well, just remember, it's not The Bastion's fault.
