Hello astronauts, angels, and arseholes. We're wrapping up a very busy 2010 and looking forward to a lot more fashion, being trillionaires, baking Muckleberry pies, and tricycle races. We recently just did a show in Lafayette, IN to benefit Aubrey Deno, a 1 year old with leukemia. The night ended up raising over $2000! Keep fighting Aubrey, and if you would like to donate go here: http://apps.facebook.com/fundrazr/activity/ee7b638d48cf475583fdca41c8797412?share=true

In future news, just after the new year, we'll be back with Pistol Party in it's 18th installment "Pistol Party is Hung Like an Over," on Tuesday January 4th, which will feature a ton of new fun, prizes, and a lot of cold beer.

We are also lucky enough be be in this year's Chicago Sketchfest, on Thursday, Jan. 13th in the 9:30pm slot. This show will feature a lot of material from Modern Men, so if you missed it last time (what the hell were YOU doing?) or want to see more (you KNOW you miss it) come out. The Puterbaugh Sisters are in the same theater the time-slot before, so come make a night of it.

Below, you'll find some stuff we've been amused by recently, and some more stuff that we were behind. Stay with us. Lots of jingle joy in the new year...

Here's the Puterbaugh's GLITTER PARTY VIDEO (look out for Cappy and Paul in it):



Peter produced and directed this video for his good pal JUD, who is funnier than us:



This is our favorite new video. PERIOD.



This is us (drunkenly) paying tribute to our favorite new video. PERIOD. (We're pretty proud of our efforts):



And finally, this just in, idiots in Minnesota STILL think it's a good idea to have a stadium with a dome:



HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Modern Men opens Thursday!



Think Tank's 4th full length stage revue opens this Thursday at Stage 773 (formerly Theater Building Chicago). Modern Men is a multimedia performance featuring all new original material from the creators of some of Chicago's "most bizarre, high concept comedy around." (Chicago Reader)

Modern Men pokes fun at many aspects of contemporary society, including the economy, the environment, the media, and fashion. The action passes between live stage scenes and well-polished video segments, all accented by carefully designed light and sound.

Come enjoy a night of hilarious comedy that might even make you think about some things... even if those things are swimming pools full of gold or the practicality of houseboat insurance.

Think Tank presents Modern Men
Opening Thursday October 7th and playing every Thursday in October
Stage 773 1225 W. Belmont Ave
$10 general
$7 students

LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY........

For the past month, we have been hard at work in the lab creating our latest one-hour sketch comedy extravaganza, Modern Men.

It has been almost two years since we produced our last full-length stage revue, The Bailout Show, and we're getting really excited for what's to come. It is a great privilege to be one of the first comedy groups in Chicago to partner up with the newly revamped Stage 773, which was recently purchased by the Brian Posen and Jill Valentine (co-founders of the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival). Opening night is just less than two weeks away - October 7th @8:00! Enjoy this recent promotional video we made for the show!!!
