At first when you look at the title of the show Switch Hitters, you probably think of two people taking turns having sex with one person, but the new Annoyance show, Switch Hitters, is not that.

Mort Burke and Kyle More are the brains behind this new concept of improv and stand up comedy rolled into a tight little package, ready to smoke (what’s up!). The show is on Sunday nights at 8pm at the Annoyance where you can enjoy a drink in their lounge and Mort and Kyle themselves will round you up for the show.

The first half of the show on the 11th was stand up comedy with Mort Burke, Kyle More (how did they get booked?), Mark Ratterman, Nick Vatterott, and Brady Novak. There are non-traditional segues performed by the comics themselves - for instance, Mark did a piece on waiting tables that transferred to Nick’s bit on waiting tables with the two of them on stage at the same time. It was also interesting to see the comics introduce the next comic, themselves instead of having a traditional host.

After the first half there is a short break, then the improv begins! The improv suggestions come from the stand ups' set lists, the five comics put their names in a hat, an audience member draws one, then the comic reads his or her set list or improv suggestions to be performed.

The show will continue until June 29. Future Switch Hitters are Robert Buscemi, Nathan Jansen, Stu Rase, Emily Candini, Bryce Whistle, Steve O. Harvey, Tim Paul, Cameron Esposito, Sam Weiner, Brendan McGowan, Prescott Tolk, Dave Vispoli, Mikey Manker, and Jet Eveleth. Sundays 8pm, 6 bucks, Annoyance Theatre. 4830 N Broadway. 773-561-4665.
