The Union gets Cheeky

The Union was interviewed by Cheeky Chicago and you can read all about it here!

In addition, we've been hard at work on some new video shorts. Keep checking back here, as we will post them as soon as they're done!

Dual Duel Semifinals

The Dual Duel is a 2-person, long-form improv competition going on over at the ComedySportz theater. Each show has 5 duos performing for exactly 10 minutes, not a second more, and the audience votes the winners on to the next round. The Union entered, and we won our first round matchup a few weeks ago. So we'll be improvising at the Dual Duel semi-finals this Sunday, August 23rd at 9pm. The competition is stiff, so we'd love your support. Tickets are just $5. Hope you can make it!

The after party was a blast. This year has a lot to live up to!

The Union's summer

Got a lot coming up this summer for The Union, so keep an eye out for more details, briefly...

• First off, Snubfest was a blast and we were very happy with our set. We met some new friends and have been invited to open up for some of the local groups around here and possibly a group in New York sometime later this year.
• Then we'll be improvising together in the ComedySportz contest "Dual Duel" on July 19th at 9pm.
• Next, one of our short videos has been accepted into the Chicago Short Comedy Video & Film Festival and we'll be judged against some very talented comedians on July 24th!
• Also, we'll be heading back to the Milwaukee Comedy Festival on August 7th!
• Lastly, we have a run coming up at Second City's Donny Skybox in September/October!

Keep checking in with us to see new announcements, show details and more fun videos!

Snubbed

You snub us and we will come back to haunt you!


The Union will be performing not once, but twice at Chicago's SnubFest this week!

First, check us out on Saturday 6/27 at 10pm for "The Last Snob Standing" contest. Your laughter can help us win the prize of getting into other festivals.

Then we're up again for a longer set on Sunday 6/28 at 8pm for our showcase.

The shows take place at the Chemically Imbalanced Comedy Theater, 1420 W. Irving Park and tickets are only $10 so there's no excuse to miss it!
