Holy Fuck Comedy Hour

Crocodile Doctor

The Holy Fuck Comedy Hour is a weekly free midnight show at The Annoyance. Each week the cast puts up new sketch material, from solo to full cast, with the goal of experimentation, irreverence, and occasional perversity.

Its been my favorite show for the last couple years. At first I started going just to see Tisher, I kept going because no matter what each Friday I'd see something fresh, something challenging, something inspiring. Not all the bits certainly. There is a lot of trash. But even in the grossest, stupidest, most ill-conceived bits there is a pervading sense of courage. And on those rare nights when nothing hit it was rewarding enough to spend an hour or so with friends.

About half the cast is leaving at the end of the month, from its inception it has been a show in constant flux. I'm excited and hopeful for all the folks leaving the Chicago nest and interested to see how the show morphs into its next incarnation.

Fridays at Midnight. Free. Annoyance Theatre. Holy Fuck Comedy Hour.
