Women Aren't Funny

The late Del Close, co-founder and guru of the iO (formerly Improv Olympic), would've celebrated his 75th birthday this year, and in honor of the improv legend, the iO is hosting Del Week, a week-long series of shows, discussions, and special events. One of the highlights of this week, and an event that would surely have Del Close rolling over in his grave, is Women Aren't Funny. Del Close was firmly of the belief that women cannot be funny, and much to his horror, the women of Children of a Lesser God (Emily Candini, Kate Duffy, Rachael Mason, and Susan Messing) will be taking the stage with some special lady guests, attempting to improvise in spite of their gender deficiencies. Will these women be able to bring the funny even though they have ovaries? Come see for yourself this Sunday at 10:30 pm at the iO theatre (3541 N. Clark). More details here.
