Hitch*Cocktails is a fully improvised comedic thriller which invites the audience to laugh and enjoy while partaking (if they wish) in a drinking game, while the cast creates it all on stage…also while partaking in drinking throughout the show. Added all together it’s a laugh filled evening which creates a murder mystery that would make Alfred Hitchcock, the master, proud…or at least smile….

“The Summer of Suspense specialty shows end Aug 30, but Hitch*Cocktails will continue every Friday at 9:30pm.” at Annoyance Theatre & Bar in The Annoyance Theatre located on Belmont near Clark. And after August 30th, the fun continues on Friday evenings. This show has been entertaining audiences for over a dozen years with some of the best improv talents in the city!

The audience gets involved during the summer run and well…you never know what is going to happen on stage. Fortunately, either does the cast! Joining in the conversation are: Bruce Phillips (the Executive Director of High Stakes Production which produces the show) and improv performers: Bri Fitzpatrick, Edgar Nevarez and Simon Tessmer.

And after the WGN+ TV Stream show, the cast stayed on for an extended BONUS conversation about the art of improvisation right here and on all podcast platforms.

Enjoy this inside behind the curtain look to the making of an improv master class!
