A few months back I got the opportunity to do some spoken word at a fundraiser for a fantastic Chicago theater group called Coffee and Whiskey Productions. It was a wonderful evening, lots of fun, drinking, good folks, excellent acts, and laughs. As such they've been able to put out a pretty solid season so far. This is the video of my set that evening. The fundraiser took place around Giftmas, so that's why the story is about Christmas. Still, I think it's funny year round.
That said, Coffee and Whiskey are about to briefly bring back a wonderful show they did last year called Karaoke Night at Al Capone's House of Pancakes. It's a delightful, lively production full of laughs and heart. In addition, it contains a unique bit of, for lack of a better term, improv. Performers actually sing karaoke throughout the night, however, they have no idea what songs they'll be expected to do. So you can actually catch a flash of worry across an actor's face when suddenly called to the mic. And if last year is any indication, audience members might be called on stage to perform songs as well. This is a show put on by a group of people whom you will be able to see enjoying the show they're in, not just acting in it.
