Update 6/8/09:

Adults, Jablonski!

Grandma June is still in the retirement home. We might break her out some day, but until then you'll have to settle for a couple of other shows featuring her grandchildren.

 

Adults (with Chris Bragg)

Thursday, 10:30pm through June 18
@ Chemically Imbalanced Theater

Founding memeber of GJSC Chris Bragg presents his new sketch comedy group Adults. Come see their debut show at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater (1420 W. Irving Park Rd.)

Check out this slideshow of our awesome Texas trip. http://s429.photobucket.com/albums/qq17/melba60618/?albumview=slideshow

Then, check out our Austin performance. Watch for hilarious technical issues that try to derail the show!!! In all seriousness, it was the debut of two video pieces (the killer opening and NIMBY street), so watch and enjoy!

We are currently on hiatus and have no shows scheduled through the end of the year. However, we are currently working on a bunch of video projects, which we will be debuting very soon.

In the meantime, you should definitely go to the 2009 Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival! A bunch of friends of ours will be performing, including Fried Green Durbins, The Cupid Players, and Rue Brutalia (from New York). John and Sherra will also be performing on Sunday the 11th at 4pm under the name Jablonski. Full schedule and ticket information at the link below.
