SHOW 2 - ENTER LEGLAND - 3PM
Audiences are saying:
“Carefully crafted absurdist theater”
“The weirdest, most wonderful show I've ever seen since”
“like a goofier, staged version of I Think You Should Leave.”
“satisfying in all senses”
About the Show: After a standing ovation at the International Physical Theatre Festival, we are debuting our full production of “Enter LegLand”. Witness our distorted leg-creatures existing in a desert of lost words under the ever-watching free trial of a censor god who makes sure all content is EXACTLY PG-13 (never veering into the evils of PG-12 or PG-14.)
Leaning on foundations in bouffon, drag, and sketch comedy, LegLand guides you through a dense and energetic world of absurdity. Incorporating bizarre props and costumes, surreal language, and warped video elements, we distort the traditional sketch comedy show into something that is both distasteful and delicious, lampooning whatever we can get our legs on.
About LegLand: LegLand is an absurd comedy performance collective based in Chicago. We devise bizarre vignettes to create an outrageous multimedia show that utilizes video, soundscapes, puppets, and drag. LegLand is Second City comedy meets Cirque du Soleil visuals if both had massive budget cuts and no censor.
Featuring Connor Konz, Danny Gadaj, and Mo Less
