Third Ape's A Charm

By Margaret Lyons in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 11, 2008 3:13PM

Hotcha! One of our more beloved Chicago comedy shows is returning...eventually. Impress These Apes comes back September 22. Consider our calender marked.

Audition applications are due June 15, and Chicagoista and season two Ape-impresser Margaret Hicks had this advice for aspiring contestants: "Contact your inner nerd as much as possible. I don't think the apes are looking to be blown away by your knowledge of Shakespeare but hope to be impressed by humans' knowledge, no matter what the knowledge may be." Iiiiinteresting. This year's top prize is $500, plus fame and glory.

The new season of the comedy contest/variety show will be at the Lakeshore Theater, a substantially bigger venue than the second floor of iO, where last season was held. [Previously: one, two, three]
