RECOMMENDED! Heartwarming. A deceptively profound and poetic capsule of the complicated, beautiful relationship actors have with their craft.Chicago Reader
A precious, deeply human, holiday night of stories celebrating one of the funniest entertainers working in Chicago. Mitchell Fain is a force of nature and a sublime entertainer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDChicago Critic
For eight years in the trenches as Crumpet the Elf, Mitchell restrained his most anarchic, improvisatory impulses. This year, join Mitchell for a Very Special Xmas Special(tm) as he pulls together a host of holiday stories from the audience, his own life and war stories about how family, drunks, jewelry, 250 performances and the holiday spirits collide. Boozy Christmas carols and the private lives of you and your elves are all up for grabs in this warm-hearted personal look on a holiday show about a holiday show by one of Chicago's best storytellers.
Please note: This is not a performance of Joe Mantello's adaptation of David Sedaris'
