This past Wednesday's show continued the latest OINK! trend of not only fun, but packed houses and great acts! The Legendary Sasha and the Noob dropped by and kicked things off. Check out www.blewt.com for all their silly funny projects! Next month at the Lakeshore Theater they kick off Impress These Apes. Get more info on the all-new season of Apes by visiting www.impresstheseapes.com Halibut totally rocked the OINK! stage, check out Halibut member, Jack Thurston Farrell at www.jackthurstonfarrell.com, this guy has led a storied life (he's been on both ends of a Greenpeace barrell)! OINK! favorites, Tin Sandwich stopped by and delivered a truly amazing performance! Check them out at: www.tinsandwichimprov.com They'll be back October 8, if not before! 07.31.08
Last night's show was standing-room-only and was an amazing show to boot! BLEWT! member and Chicago Comedy Award winner Ken Barnard rocked the huge crowd. Fans of Tricky Mickey can come back next week and see Mike A. with different iteration of the hilarious group! Yeti Crocker performed some truly hilarious and inspired sketch comedy, check out these guys and gals as soon as you can (they'll be back at OINK! in September). The shows have been filling up rather quickly, so remember you can save money and secure your seat by purchasing tickets on this very website!

Big thanks to the huge crowd that made it out last night to another extraordinary show! Special thanks to the regulars that have been coming out week after week to support live comedy and enjoy Chicago's top talent... you guys and gals make the show an event! Everyone in attendance last night witnessed MAGIC!: an awesomely hilarious improvised magic show from Nick Vatterott and Jet Eveleth. Bon voyage Nick! (he's leaving on a funny boat) and thanks for hamming it up with us Jet! Check out last night's stand-up, CJ Toledano, at the Lincoln Lodge this Fall. You can catch the super sweet Tin Sandwich again on August 20, when they will be back rockin' the OINK! stage. 07.16.08
Hey All, Othy here... getting ready to "hit the sack." I thought I'd hop on here and let you know that tonight's show is gonna be awesome as usual, thanks to the awesome guest talent. I am super excited to have Comedian Junior Stopka rockin' the OINK! stage for the first time. This guy is a definite do-not-miss in my book. I have never not been rolling in laughter the times I've seen him out at the mics and am excited to see him do a full 15-minute set. This guy is an underground phenomenom. The awesome sketch group Cowboy Don will be stopping by and debuting some new stuff, and Steven M. Cohen will be playing with your very own Las Madres del Fútbol! Steevo will also be playing with is all new improv troupe Imaginary Friends. Hope to see you there! 07.13.08
As some of you already know, O.I.N.K! has teamed up with Jones Soda
to create a proprietary line of "OINK! Cream Soda," a commemorative
(and high fructose corn syrup-free) bottle of delicious cream soda with
an OINK! label. A bottle costs $4, but the label is redeemable for
free admission to a future show if you find yourself "jonesing for more
OINK!" It is available for purchase at the show. Ask an OINK! Staffer
for more details. 07.12.08
