James Burchill
Musical Stand-Up • Chicago, IL
James Burchill
James Burchill, without any obvious tangibles such as talent, has been existing in the Chicago improv scene since 2006. Aside from his utterly hilarious material and several STI's, he is also an avid light-and-sound man who is unafraid to pull the plug on a lousy improv set.

Independent Sneakers
Improv • Chicago, IL
Leonardo Garcia & Tina Jackson
Failures? Rejects? The IndySneaks answer not to these names. Instead, they wear plaid and Cons and bring laughter to the masses by way of ridiculous characters and asides that'll leave you in stitches. (Unless your name happens to be Charna, in which case.... we're sorry.)
