For 50 years, Chicago has steadily exported its most lucrative cash crop to the coasts: sketch and improv talent from theaters like Second City and iO. After making their bones on our stages, rising comedians decamp for New York, California, and the industry machinery that turns them into stars. But just as Michael Jordan's "love of the game" contract clause let him play hoops whenever he wanted, so do veteran comics return to throw down just for kicks. Take FrankenMatt, a critically lauded two-man comedy attack featuring Second City Mainstage alumni Frank Caeti (MadTV, Reno 911) and Matt Craig (The Office, According to Jim). It's a fast-paced road-trip narrative blending absurdity, reality, and breakneck hilarity. Just two Chicago performances, so act fast.
