    Description

    Start your week off with comedy the Church Lady would be proud of. Mock sermons take shots at the Religious Right through nuanced dialogue and damn-earnest conviction. This is the best thing to happen to Chicago comedy since the Late Night Late Show.

              I went to this with my daughter and husband along with some other family friends, we laughed until it hurt while watching this show. At the same time, it takes a very smart approach to the lampooning of Christianity. We will be coming back!

              This is probably the funniest written show in Chicago right now. I have been to a handful or performances and have nearly cried from laughter every time. The fact that they do a new show every week and keep it this consistently good is awesome. And to top it all off they are delivering a really smart and needed message about religion. Highly recommended.

              I have been to every service so far and I can honestly say that it really gets better every week, and that's saying quite a lot because I was extremely impressed by the initial performance. This is very smart and hysterical writing performed by a very talented cast. And a great way to start your Sunday to boot!

              I want everyone I know to see this show. I was so impressed by it. It's really funny, but it also really makes you think. And this country could seriously stand to have a few more THOUGHTFUL discussions about religion.

              I went and saw this for the second week in a row this past weekend, it was even funnier than the opening week. Hilarious stuff. Really makes you think, I highly recommend this show.

              It's actually a brave work. I would go see it again in a heartbeat.

              I attended their last preview on March 30th, and I have to say, I was really damn impressed. I came in with weird expectations, people told me it was a comedy show but not really a sketch show, but once the 'service' kicked into gear, it turned into a hilarious and clever show. Apparently they do a new service every week, which is pretty awesome just by itself. All the more reason to keep coming back, eh?

              Finally something in Chicago I actually feel smarter coming out of....

              A highly enjoyable show. Takes the intelligent approach to religious comedy rather than just denouncing it. I look forward to seeing more shows in the future.

              Great parody church that gets in all the good stuff. Fairly pro production, not just a bunch of the usual clueless kids. No admission, but they take collection. I will come back again

              Hysterical. Sharp writing with great performers. This is really comedy that cuts and makes you think. I will be coming back many times to this. I'd be surprised if this show didn't inspire protests.

              I can't believe someone is finally doing this. Hilarious and sharp.

              Quite funny. After the service was over, I actually felt like I just attended a church for peeps like me.

              Hilarious. So good I just converted to atheism. I'm coming back every week...if I can get up that early again.
