Mr. & Mrs. Wednesday-Night!
Meet Lily Night & Charlie Wednesday, Chicago's favorite mostly-improvised old-school music and comedy variety duo…
Ever wake from a wonderfully weird dream and wish you could remember the details? That blurry, surreal place is where Mr. & Mrs. Wednesday-Night live.
A place where absurdity meets absurdly good improvised music, where a golden clamshell determines the order of the universe (of the show, at least), where comedy and chaos reign, where anything can happen—and often does.
Accompanied by The Wednesday-Night Specials, the impressive improvised band featuring some of Chicago’s finest musicians, including members of Mucca Pazza, the Blue Meanies, Wild Earp, and all sorts of other badass bands

“Mr. & Mrs. Wednesday Night, of course, is no mere comedy show. It is the collective vehicle for the talents of a wide range of experimental performance artists, it is a sentimental throwback to the golden age of American entertainment, and―above all else―it is very, very funny. ”
