The Gist

So the gist is… this is a sketch revue where all of the sketches are improvised for the very first time in front of you, the audience. When the lights come up, each performer will set their scene and cast their characters. You will witness a sketch that started as just a pitch evolves into a scene all its own through the imagination and comedic talent of the ensemble. Featuring several variety acts throughout the evening and a rotating cast of Chicago’s best improvisers, there is talent and nuance for everyone to enjoy.
