“[A] must-see in Chicago’s theater scene.”

— New Times Los Angeles


“Two hours of hilarious antics…”

— The Boston Globe



“Charna Halpern is the Uta Hagen of comedy.”

— Variety



“The cast supports one another fully in everything, validating James Joyce’s remark that genius makes no mistakes – errors are the portals of discovery.”

— Chicago Reader



“For an hour, the audience is invited into the world of a traveling freak show, a state fair, a dysfunctional family, a tough high school or whatever world the performers create. Because the show is entirely improvised, there is no planning, no pre-set structure.”

— Chicago Citysearch



“Highly entertaining, inventive and even dramatically intense … its members are funny, creative, intelligent and disciplined, never competing, but working as a team to support each other’s ideas.”
