Good Little Winnetka Boy @ The Annoyance
Local actor/comedian Alex Moffat has become a staple of the late night comedy scene, his El Show, a talk show featuring local performers of all stripes, holding down the midnight slot at iO's Del Close Theatre for several months now.
With his one-man show, Good Little Winnetka Boy, Moffat's moved into prime time, creating an "eccentric sketch and variety show" that explores the "small village" of his subconscious through "German standup comedy, 'ice skating' onstage, and good ol' fashioned piano playing at its finest." There are only two shows left, tonight and next Thursday, before Moffat sails off as part of a Second City cruise ship cast (a pretty sweet gig from what I gather), but he plans on reviving the show once he's back to Chicago. But that's only IF he decides to come back, so it's probably a good idea to catch it now.
Good Little Winnetka Boy plays tonight and next Thursday, June 24, at the Annoyance Theatre (4830 N. Broadway). Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online or by calling the box office: 773-561-HONK (4665).
