--Pimprov primps for a double header on Saturday March 24, when they'll play a 7 p.m. show at Touch of the Past nightclub at 947 Mannheim Road in Bellwood, and then at 10 p.m. at the Cornservatory at 4210 North Lincoln. Pimprov playa Marz Timms, who also puts the smack down on stand-up, will also be performing the title role in Chemically Imbalanced Comedy's production of Noah Haidle's "Mr. Marmalade." Lest you think this sounds like children's theater, listen to this: "Mr. Marmalade is the story of a four-year-old girl whose imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade does not have much time for her. Not to mention he beats up his personal assistant, has a cocaine addiction, and a penchant for pornography. Larry, her only real friend, is the youngest suicide attempt in the history of New Jersey. It's a savage dark comedy about what it takes to grow up in these difficult times."

--Second City mainstage alum Claudia Michelle Wallace is directing "Presidential Race Riot," the new spring show for Second City Outreach and Diversity. The show is a "hip comedy revue featuring original material, Second City classic scenes and improv with an urban multicultural twist," and opens Saturday April 7 at 9 p.m. in Donny's Skybox.

--We got word that Def Jam Mobile is going to be taping over at Jokes and Notes this Wednesday, and will be bringing in 10 to 20 national comics, according to their calendar. Not a bad deal for $10!
