2018 is quickly showing mass appeal of watching others play video games for fun. Arenas are being built for eSports and Twitch streamer, Ninja, breaks records with his 628,000 concurrent viewers. Naturally combining video games and hilarious stand-up comedy would be the perfect match for an exciting and entertaining night.
New Player Has Entered The Show brings 4 of Chicago’s best stand-up comics on stage to perform their sets, then face off in a different video game each month. Audience members will be able to watch the comics genuine reactions and delightfully abusive trash talking all while watching the game play on the two projectors at Under the Gun Theater. The best part of watching video games is a chance to play, so the comic that wins will play an audience member drawn at random for a chance to win a gift card and a grab bag of prizes.
It will only cost you $10 to relive the feeling you had with your friend’s couch yelling at each other over Mario Party. This show will be every last Sunday of the month 8PM at Under The Gun Theater (956 W. Newport Ave) in Chicago Illinois. You can buy your tickets at underthegun.theater
April 29th marks our first show and the comics will face off in an instant classic; Mario Kart 64.
