It will be a year at the end of May since we've started doing the Chicago Improv Rebellion. To be fair, the first three monthes of the show were under the mask of "The Midnight Show" at The Playground, but then moved to iO Mondays at 10:30 and the name made no sense. I regress, thank you to anyone who has ever seen or taken a part in this show.
To celebrate this summer we're going to re-invent the show a bit. Hodge Podge will be comeing back to playing Saturdays at Midnight in the DCT. Only this time we'll be toying with infusing Jazz and Improv instead of Punk and Improv. We'll be working with the Christy Bennett Sextet which will include drums, guitars, bass, saxaphone, trumpet, piano and vocals. The CBS will be opening and closing the show as well as jamming with Hodge Podge to perform, The Jazz Harold. It's a variation of our last form, The Punk Harold. Which is a variation of iO's signiture form, The Harold.
This starts May 17th and will continue thru August. Each week will also feature a specialty group from around the city as well as an iO team performing a form they came up with themselves.
Hodge Podge this summer will be:
Jon Barinholtz
Tyler Barkley
Rob Belushi
Nick Hausman
Craig McCarty
Conner O'Malley
Matt Owens
Andrew Peyton
Sam Weiner
Thomas Whittington
The full line-up of summer acts will be released shortly.
