About me:
Bad Review is a show that has been performed at the LA Improv Festival and the Toronto Improv Festival as well as recently finished a 5 week run at the Second City Skybox Theater in Chicago. The show started as a Chemically imbalanced Comedy Encore series and ran for 4 months once a month starting Feb 2006.
The Chicago Reader Review:
Each week this Chemically Imbalanced Comedy team selects a disparaging theater review from the latest Reader and performs an hour-long improvisation of "the show we feel the critic would have rather seen." When I went, they read aloud Zac Thompson's review of Invasion of the Minnesota Normals (which he said "tries to make a case for individuality without exhibiting any"), then acted out a 50s-sitcom version in which clean-cut citizens revolt against normalcy by smoking, embracing homosexuality, and eventually killing. The cast fixated on easy pop references, but the sarcasm was thick and zany. Director Angela McMahon crafts a truly professional improv production, with efficient blackouts, precise lighting, timely and clever musical touches, and a perky pace. --Ryan Hubbard Highly Recommended
