28 JUNE AT 22:00: SHOT OF IMPROV XL

This fast-paced, funny night features our top cast and local legend Derek Scott Mitchell (@letsdoubledutch) making you laugh while waiters bring drinks to your table.

Derek Scott Mitchell steps into the spotlight with the Boom Chicago mainstage cast. Known as the top expat-Dutch comedy voice, he’s bringing his razor-sharp wit to a night full of laughs and high-energy improv.

The evening starts with short-form improv and games with rules, bells, and lots of audience suggestions. We need a job and a movie-style! Let’s go! We finish with long-form improv for a complete improvisation journey!

Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) is one of the stars and creators of Ted Lasso, one of the best comedies in recent memory. He is taking a break from writing the highly anticipated season four to make a special appearance at the BCCF.

Brendan returns with his acclaimed, very funny solo show. The Movement You Need is a dynamic performance blending comedy, true stories, and inspiring moments that ends up connecting the Beatles to his complicated relationship with his mother. The first show is already sold out. SECOND SHOW ADDED!

Giraffe-limbed comedian and Gaulier-trained clown Elf Lyons brings back her critically acclaimed, utterly ridiculous one-woman ballet to Boom Chicago. Think Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake meets Tommy Cooper. Expect physical comedy, theatrical chaos, and a very loose grasp of the French language.
