Friday Free-For-All
Team Submarine is moving to New York (where they will room with Jared Logan, which is a sitcom if we ever saw one) and is performing a farewell show tonight, April 18th at The Playground Theater at 10:00 PM. As they excitedly say on their blog, the show features "some of our favorite performers in the city. Hosting the show will be the wonderful Team Submarine, with opening act Team Submarine and then of course your headliner Team Submarine." Be there for hugs, tears, pizza, and jokery.
Time Out Chicago is taking issue with the Tribune's comedy coverage. Specifically, they wonder, is the Second City mainstage show literally "dollar for dollar...the most comedically reliable night out in Chicago" when it's $25? TOC praises the cheaper (and possibly funnier?) Improvised Shakespeare Company or Felt at iO, and Best Church of God (a free Sunday morning show) at Second City’s Donny’s Skybox. Also getting the thumbs-up are shows including Don’t Spit the Water, ComedySportz, and Messing with a Friend, and stand-ups Nick Vatterott and Hannibal.
