Tuesday Top Ten: Sketch Comedy Shows I Saw This Weekend

By the title of this post, you would probably assume that I saw at least ten sketch comedy shows this weekend.  I did not.  I am essentially using the Tuesday Top Ten as a vehicle to promote a hilarious sketch comedy show that I saw Saturday night.  Thus, here is my top ten list:

10.  None

9.  None

8.  None

7.  None

6.  None

5.  None

4.  None

3.  None

2.  None

1.  Urlakis and Cusick.

Urlakis and Cusick is a two-man sketch comedy show at Chicago's Stage 773 Theater (1225 W. Belmont).  I know Sean Cusick from Second City.  He directed two of the shows for which I was a writer.  He has a wonderfully dark sense of humor.  I don't know Dave Urlakis, but he also appears to have a wonderfully dark sense of humor.  The show itself is about an hour.  It's fast-paced, and there is not a bad sketch in the lot.  I was laughing throughout.

It only runs for two more weeks, Saturday nights at 10:30 (i.e., 12/10 and 12/17), so I highly recommend you go see it while you still have the chance.
