Cal Poly Arts Brings Improv Troupe to Campus Nov. 3-5

SAN LUIS OBISPO – On Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4 at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., Cal Poly Arts brings the Chicago City Limits comedy to the Cohan Center Pavilion. Food and beverages, including wine and beer, will be served in the intimate setting.

The troupe will also perform a special added matinee on Sunday, November 5, 2006 at 3 p.m. Seating availability for the shows is limited. Shows may contain adult themes and mature language.

Chicago City Limits, a high-energy creative improv comedy troupe – features “so vibrant (a) comedic crew that I’d be surprised if the energizer bunny could keep up.” (Show Business)

The Record Journal agrees, “...It's easy to see how...fans get hooked on this troupe, attending shows time and again.”

For those who witness the wacky off-the-cuff genius that has been the hallmark of the Chicago City Limits, the St. Petersburg Times warns:

“Take deep breaths and stretch out your stomach muscles before you go see Chicago City Limits...you'll walk away holding your aching sides from laughing.”

Chicago City Limits gets its inspiration from current headlines, pop culture, and the world at large. It’s a show in which no subject it sacred.

Chicago City Limits performs quick-witted improvisations, created on-the-spot from suggestions called out by the audience, along with hilarious comedy sketches, songs and more.

It’s no wonder the NY Post called it “The Funniest Show in Town.”

Tickets for the performance are $34, with student discounts available, and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Ticket Office, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

To order by phone, call 805/756-2787; to order by fax: 805/756-6088. Order on-line at www.pacslo.org.

Sponsored by Bill and Harriette Shaffner and by American Airlines/American Eagle. For audio and video samples of Cal Poly Arts events, visit www.calpolyarts.org.
