Chicago sketch comedy veterans John Klingle and Paul Brennan bring their anarchic humor back to the stage in JOHN AND PAUL: STRICTLY PLATONIC, a raucous celebration of dysfunctional friendship. Watch John and Paul play John and Paul, respectively, juggling the roles of emasculated fathers, naïve prison guards, and problematic method actors, all while struggling to keep their corporate sponsorships. They'll be on every Friday night in April at 8pm. Each show includes guest appearances by up-and-coming stars of Chicago comedy, music, and drag, including
