About This Show

A crowd favorite in Chicago, Competitive Awesome has been called provocative, insightful and just plain funny. The company recently completed a successful North American tour of The Story of Joseph King, a two-man show composed of exclusively original sketch works by members Mychal Utecht and Aaron Gingrich. Its style is a seamless mix of cultural, political, and historical satire.

So Much for Sober is a melting pot of cultural, political and historical satire. From George W. Bush to Deaf Sitcoms to Lewis and Clark, no leaf is left unturned. The seamless transitions from piece-to-piece leave the viewer almost unable to distinguish between them, and fills the audience with the sensation of effortlessly watching one fluid motion. The relationships explored, the ease of enjoyment and the taste of the material leaves everyone feeling as though they’ve just eaten the best intellectual meal one could digest.
