iO Ends Qwerido with GayCo, 6/25

Chicago's premiere improv theatre iO presents Qweirdo!, a recurring showcase of Chicago's top gay comedians and improvisers coming together every Friday in June to make you laugh in the way that only your gay best friend can. The anchor improv team (not a sailor reference) is "1, 2, Fag and Hag!". This group is Seth Dodson and Kellen Alexander of iO's long-running headlining act "1, 2, 3, Fag!" who are bringing in Chicago's top female improvisers to perform their signature improv style of intertwining scenes with bold, outrageous characters. Tickets are $14 and are available at http://chicago.ioimprov.com/io/shows/136.  Show starts at 8 PM in the Cabaret Theatre.

 In honor of June being Gay Pride Month, a portion of all ticket sales will go to Lambda Legal. Lambda Legal is a national organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work. More information about Lambda Legal can be found at www.lambdalegal.org
