Bill Arnett,
improv performer and teacher at iO Theater, finds he is not alone thanks to:
The Kates Would you like some cupcakes with your comedy? Then head on down to the Book Cellar for a package deal of heavenly baked goods and uproarious live performances from one of the best comedy groups in town, the Kates. Led by local comedians Kelsie Huff and Amy Sumpter, this exclusively female troupe puts on a show twice monthly—every second Friday at 8 PM and last Saturday at 7 PM—with acts that vary from clowning to stand-up to outrageous song-and-dance routines. Onetime Chicago rookies Tina Fey and Amy Poehler proved that women can be just as funny as their male peers; now the Kates are carrying the torch of laugh-out-loud girl power for a new generation. So what do the fabulous Kates have planned for audiences in 2013? Follow them on Twitter (@thekatescomedy) or visit their official website (thekates.org) to learn more.
