More HOW-DID-THEY-THINK-OF-THAT HILARITY with...

THE LEAGUE OF IMPROV HEROES! Friday nights in March 2015 at 8pm at the Open Door Theatre in scenic Oak Park, IL. (That’s on Ridgeland at Harrison just north of I-290, the Eisenhower expressway). Tickets are only $15 and refreshments (booze, pop, candy, snacks) are available. Please DO NOT bring fried chicken! It’s tasty but bad for your heart. This performance is funny so be prepared to laugh, BYOSG (bring your own sneeze guard). It is directed by the lovely and talented Jack Bronis with Musical Direction by Thomas King Clear, and Technical Direction by Emilie Clark-Tranynere. It features: Jack Bronis, Randy Craig, Mark Czoske, Mary Fahey Hughes, Jimmie Meader, Pat Musker, Mary Olivieri, and possibly a surprise celebrity guest! If “laugh riot” was not already overused I would choose that descriptor.

Marc Hauser Shoots Gangster!

As part of a promotional campaign for a real estate company, famed photographer Marc Hauser shot ...er...photographed Randy in full gangster costume right in front of The Untouchable Tours’s gangster bus near Mr. Hauser's studio in Chicago. Randy’s day job for the past 26 years has been as a tour guide for Untouchable Tours, a look at Chicago in the notorious gangster era, the roaring 20’s. 

The IMPROV HEROES are back!

Back at the Open Door Theatre. Where did they go? They have been pushing their crazed and creative minds through the polar vortex of reality. You will, most likely, laugh your capes off when you see them display their dazzling improverative powers.

"Shoulders" with Diamond Jim
Colosimo's great granddaughter

You can also see Randy regularly on the Untouchable Tours, as the gangster tour guide, "Shoulders", who leads you on a comedic, yet historical, 2 hour bus tour through Chicago's prohibition past. Call (773) 881-1195 and ask when "Shoulders" is on next. BTW, the nickname "Shoulders" is an homage to a character from the 1976 comedy, "The Big Bus".

Roger Ebert Tweets About Randy in Dr. Strangelove
