Need something to do tonight? Have no fear, because Batterymouth is going to be performing with our friends The Cosby Sweaters tonight at Studio BE here in Chicago. The show is at 10pm and it should be a fun, loose and probably very blue evening of improv.
“Wait, why haven’t I heard about this show earlier?”
Because we just found out about it too! Embrace spontaneity and come see us tonight.

This past Wednesday, we wrapped up our six week run at Chicago’s very own Apollo Theater Studio. On behalf of Batterymouth, I want to give a big “thank you” to everyone who came out to catch us at any point during the run. Thanks for supporting long form improv. You’re awesome.
Speaking of being thankful to our audience, way to come up with some kick ass suggestions! I’ve got to say, we got something unique and different every week, which gave us a lot of cool stuff to play with. Here’s the list of suggestions, in order:
* Singing Telegram
* Venus
* Waffles
* Loose
* Carrots
* Treasure Troll
Yep, those are still awesome.
And, of course, thank you to all of the fabulous groups who opened for us throughout the run - The Fling, The Cosby Sweaters, Nipple Competition, Valid Hysteria and Salmon. It really was humbling to be able to share the same stage as these guys and gals every week.
So, thanks again to everybody and be sure to keep checking out our website to see when we’ll be performing next. I’m sure we’ll be adding some new performances in the next month or so, but in the meantime, next stop: Twin Cities Improv Festival.

This June, Batterymouth is going to be taking the show on the road to perform at the Twin Cities Improv Festival. For those of you who don’t know, TCIF is an annual improv festival that takes place in Minneapolis, MN every year (hence, “annual”). This year’s festival is taking place June 25th - 28th and it looks like there will be a nice long form Chicago improv presence there including some of our friends (The Cosby Sweaters) and some of our side projects (Tarantino: The Improvised Show). We don’t know the exact date, time and location of our performance at the festival yet, but as soon as we know, you’ll know. So, pack your bags and get ready for a Batterymouth roadtrip this June.

Well hello there everyone! If you happened to miss The Cosby Sweaters opening for us earlier this month…no worries. They will be back again this Wednesday for the fifth of our six show run at the Apollo Theater Studio. We have had the privilege of sharing a number of different stages with The Cosby Sweaters throughout the past year or so, namely The Playground, and I just love the way that these guys play on stage. We recently performed with them at Stage Left Theatre for some late night comedy with pH Productions. The suggestion that night was…and I want to get this right…ahem…”wieners on the glass”. The resulting show was raunchy, shocking, fast-paced, but most importantly…it was funny as all get out. So skip Lost this week (see previous blog post here) and come on out to watch a night of uninhibited hilarium with our friends…the Cosby Sweaters.

For all of you people who can’t get out of the house on a Wednesday night to see our current run at the Apollo Studio Theater, this news is for you - Batterymouth is going to be doing a special Thursday night performance tonight (and tonight only) at the Stage Left Theatre here in Chicago. We’re going to be opening for The Cosby Sweaters (remember them from last week) as part of their seven week run at Stage Left through February 19. The show is at 11:00pm, so prepare yourself for an evening of good times and late night improv. And by “prepare yourself” I mean “take a nap beforehand.”
