Chemically Imbalanced Comedy is starting our 8th season this Sept and we are looking for folks who have played with us in the past 8 years to give us some stories about your Showcase experience. We have had so many wonderful people come through our doors and we would like to share some of those memories.

If you have played in one of our Saturday Night Showcases in the past 8 years and would like to be included please send me an email at angie @ cicomedy.com and tell me your Group you perform with, if you are a current or past performer (or both) and why you like(d) performing in our showcase.

Also feel free to post thoughts here, it has been a fantastic 7 years and we look forward to all the wonderful talent to come.

FAQ: I wanna help, what should I say? Anything really that you want to.

Here is an example of what Robert Buscemi said about CIC:

"CIC's showcase gives you a chance to explore and breathe. You can try try out material in a safe, fun environment that is also a legit, prime-time weekend spot. It was extremely important for me in developing contacts throughout the comedy community, and led ultimately to some amazing press and very valuable and enjoyable friendships and partnerships. I credit CIC as a company and the Saturday night showcases in particular with a very golden moment in my career, when it got me into the Chicago Improv Fest and a headline review in the Chicago Tribune. I'm not exaggerating when I say I owe a huge portion of my current success to the attention I got on CIC's stage. I owe these guys and will do whatever I can to support them. It's a real portal to the improv and sketch community, and a big chance to meet new people who will be your friends and who'll look out for you. I can't recommend CIC highly enough."
