Open Sketch

Sunday

5:30 PM

Open Sketch is the best open mic for sketches in Chicago! If you are looking to try out a new sketch, bring a group, a 4-5 minute sketch (with less than 4 tech cues), and a barrel full of laughs! Please bring the barrel. We only have one barrel and we keep fighting over it. Hosted by Andrew Sulfsted and AJ Hernandez-Sortore

Based on Napier’s book, Improvise: Scene From the Inside Out, the Annoyance philosophy focuses on the individual, giving students feedback and support to allow them to find and enhance their personal point of view and creative voice.
