SUMMARY:Leftovers Night with Band Practice
DESCRIPTION:Leftovers Night is a strange and delicious feast of alternative comedy acts that are in the making – hosted by comedy duo Band Practice!\n\n\nLeftovers Night is a strange and delicious feast of alternative comedy acts that are in the making\, need experimenting\, or somehow didn’t quite make it to the main event just yet. Berlin based idiot duo Band Practice is teaming up with Chicago’s Pocket Theatre to host this celebration of comedy anarchy. This evening originated back in Berlin and has been running since 2021 as a space for nourishing the genre-less comedy art scene in the fallout of COVID times. We are happy to get our first tour across the Atlantic started connecting with old friends\, new artists\, and a good old evening of hilarity. This is a mutual aid show\, proceeds will go to assisting local charities (tba). \nWant up to 5 minutes of stage time? Reach out to bandpracticeduo.com or on socials @bandpracticeduo to snag a slot. \n \nTickets are $10 or $15. \n \nMeet Band Practice\nA  theatre making duo made of Ash Willison and Lisa Ullrich. We create shows\, characters\, and theatrical happenings exploring and stretching the live experience of performance.  \nStrange\, cheeky\, and wonderfully modern\, we use elements of clown\, physical theatre\, improv\, and music to interact with the audience through all the ways you love: tech conferences\, bardic serenades\, exorcisms\, musical theatre showcases – to name a few.  \n \nquest to the Midwest tour \nleftovers 17.07.26 the understudy // Chicago \nlove detectives 24.07.2026 the understudy // Chicago \ndon’t be scared 26+29 the Newport theatre // Chicago
