Saturday at Sketchfest

Here are some picks for tonight...

6PM

SIBLINGS OF DOCTORS - North Theater - featuring Second City instructor and cool cat, Ranjit Souri and two other co-Indians. With Ranjit involved, there's a good chance this will be smart, funny and slightly askew.

7PM

GAYCO - North Theater - Chicago's first and perhaps only gay themed comedy group. AND they're funny. Even to straight people. Humorously funny, not queer funny.

8PM

CUPID PLAYERS - North Theater

APPROXIMATELY THREE PETERS - South Theater

BRAVE NEW WORKSHOP - West Theater

Toss a coin. All good. But if you haven't seen The Cupid Players' all musical revue of original songs, then do that.

9PM

PANGEA 3000 - North Theater

THE IMPONDERABLES - South Theater

PARTY CENTRAL USA - West Theater

I haven't seen any of these, but I would probably go see Pangea 3000, because they're supposed to all be writers for The Onion, and I'm a fan.

10PM

KERPATTY - South Theater

LAST CALL CLEVELAND - West Theater

Kerpatty's number one on my list followed by Last Call Cleveland.

11PM

STIR-FRIDAY NIGHT - South Theater

Asian-oriented, this Chicago group has been around about as long as GayCo, maybe longer. Their shows tend to be hit-or-miss, but if this is a "best of," it should rock.
