Snubfest!

We’re headed to Chicago!  It’s at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater, located at 1420 W. Irving Park road.  Oh, and our pals Camp Woods will also be there performing.  Here’s the link for tickets and details:

This is the only comedy festival that gives a second chance to overlooked performers. This year’s Snubfest line-up features Improvisation, Sketch, Stand Up, and for the first time Comedic Music. At each night’s “The Last Snob Standing” contest, performers compete to appear at festivals and on stages around the country. A judges panel of industry professionals will be on hand to dish out comments and prizes.
