In two days our close friends Nipple Competition will be opening for our third of six performances at Chicago’s Apollo Theater Studio.  You may have seen these guys recently performing sketch comedy at the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival or doing long form improv around town at any number of places.

It’s always a special treat for us to do a show with Nipple Competition, because it always feels like a mini-reunion.  You see, all three members of Batterymouth and three out of four members of Nipple Competition all used to be on the same Harold team at the iO Theater together called Skeleton Attack.  The team was together for about a year and a half and it’s how a lot of us cut our teeth on the Chicago style of improv.  A discerning eye could probably come to the show and pick up on some subtle similarities in the performance styles of our two groups…or they could just watch the show and laugh their ass off.  Either would be appropriate.
