Our show changes each week based on audience votes, SO you can come see the show again and again. Some reviews of the show...
“So respectful of

how kids think, it sidesteps 'Kids-Say-the-Darndest-Things' syndrome, veering into lunacy, social criticism, even poignancy.”
–Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune

“...the class-clown performers boast talent matched only by their altruism, and abandon matched only by their expertise. This group is funnier than anything at Second City, more genuinely creative than anything at Lookingglass, and does more good than all the other nonprofit theaters in town put together. If you don't have a good time, there's something wrong with you.”
–Christopher Piatt, Chicago Reader

“The only disappointing part of this hour-long show is hearing the words 'the end.' These are some of the funniest nonfamous people in the city, every time I see them they exceed my expectations.”
–Jenn Goddu, Chicago Reader
