We had a great Hump Night on Wednesday. Here are some of the great people who performed including Josh Johnson as host, Michael Gomez doing solo characters, Tap Man performing a sublime sand dance, and standup by Odinaka Ezekoli.

Wow, I have an awesome lineup for Mullaney Chain this week. I'm psyched. SNL writer Katie Rich will be in town and she is my first guest. She invited Tim Sniffen a member of numerous great improv groups like Baby Wants Candy and the Improvised Shakespeare Company (ISC). He invited Colleen Doyle from iO's hit duo, Dummy. She invited the founder of ISC and one of the most fun people to play with in Chicago, Blaine Swen.
I can't wait to play with them on Wednesday.
The 9pm show is at the Apollo Studio Theater on Lincoln in Chicago and it only costs $10:

What makes Hump Night Teams different? Hump Night Team Team Somewhere Else Choose the people you want on your team. Get put on a team with people you don't know. No auditions! Audition with 100s of...
I have put together a package deal for coaching though my new theater company, Under the Gun Theater, which I think is a terrific deal. It's called the Hump Night House Team Project.
Instead of us holding auditions and choosing the teams, I'd like teams to form themselves and come to us. You sign up as a team in 8 week blocks. Each person on the team pays $100 and that covers all the costs for 8 two-hour rehearsals (coaching and space). You also will get up to 4 shows at the Hump Night Pregrame show (and for each show you get a free complimentary ticket to give out to a friend).
The more I've dealt with team systems over the years, the more I've felt that teams deserve to have as much autonomy as they can. Those are the teams that are more likely to have chemistry, to get along, and on average get better over time. If you want to add someone to the team, you can. If you want to take a break and come back after a few months, you can.
This is a meant to be a learning experience, a way for you to get better and have fun. No one is watching the shows, trying to decide who to cut from your team. If your team wants to stay together and we can find time to schedule rehearsals, you won't get cut. It doesn't work like.
I'm hoping that this will be the kind of project where performers and students grow and get better. Check out the site and let me know what you think.
We have a great lineup tonight for Hump Night. She's Crafty's, Chicago's all-female Beastie Boys cover band will be there. Jeff Hansen is going to be doing some standup and storyteller David Boyle will be there too.
