“Bye Bye Liver: The Chicago Drinking Play”
If there’s one problem with improv or sketch comedy in Chicago, it’s that people tend to look at you like you’re a jerk just because you’re plowing through a bucket of Bud Light and shouting at the stage (no matter how funny you are). Bye Bye Liver, now in its fourth year, takes an inventive approach to this problem by incorporating your shenanigans into a show best described as “two parts sketch comedy, one part drinking game.” And while the old show-biz saw “the more you drink the funnier we are” is no doubt in effect, the cast is definitely talented and the sketches well-crafted enough that you can bring a designated driver along and not worry about them not having a good time.
