Crash & Burn

Have you ever wondered how comedians come up with their material? The Crash and Burn Comedy show offers the unique opportunity to observe the process first hand. Started by Chicago Comedian Tim Slagle and currently in its ninth year, three nationally touring headlining comedians are challenged to join Slagle to write and perform 20 brand new minutes of material. Over the span of 5 nights, September 15-19, the comedians will polish the material through workshops after each show and over lunch the next day. The only rules are to create fresh material that has never been performed on stage and to keep it funny.

Tim Slagle is a Midwest comedy icon.

Joining Slagle this year are comedians Nate Abshire, Erica Rhodes and Tony Deyo.
