COMEDY
Spitfire: Chicago's Comedy Broad Squad

when: Wed 10.3 (8pm)
where: Apollo Theater (2540 N Lincoln Ave, 773.935.6100) map
price: $10

Spitfire Comedy returns to Chicago, currently in the middle of a four-month run of shows. The all-female cast of performers bring a wide array of styles to the stage at the intimate Apollo, from observational comedy to the occasional piano-playing absurdist humor. Standup sets by the ladies of Spitfire are always professional and quick — the focus isn't on long sets but lots of short acts, allowing more bang for your comedy buck. Sadly, some recent Spitfire regulars have left the Windy City, but each show features special guests from the Chicago comedy scene, guaranteed to add more funny to an already stacked bill. (CN)

Just added!

We are very pleased to announce that special guests have been added to this Wednesday's SpitFire show at the Apollo Theater at 8 p.m. Cameron Esposito (the Spectacular Show), Elizabeth McQuern (Chicago Underground Comedy, the Bastion), and sketch group the $$Money Kids$$!!! We look forward to seeing you at the show!

Thank you to everyone who came out this month!!!

The first SpitFire showcase at the Apollo Theater studio was a major, major SUCCESS! Thanks again and again to host Greg Mills and special guests Team Submarine for helping us bring down the sold-out house!

The October 3 showcase will feature Fay Canale, Allison Leber, Hattie Snider, special guest Cameron Esposito, and host Bill Cruz, with more special guests to be announced!

We'd also like to plug the Sunday night showcase Your Sunday Best, taking place tonight in their brand new home, Schubas, a very famous and fancy indie rock club here in Chicago. The line-up features SpitFire members Becky Garcia, Fay Canale, and Hannah Gansen, host Prescott Tolk (Comedy Central's Premium Blend), local celeb (soon to be NYC celeb) Kumail Nanjiani (Unprounceable, Zach Galifianakis's Midwest protege) and YSB co-producer Bradley Fojas (who is also SpitFire's official soundguy extraordinaire!). We're having fun now!
