Get ready for a wild ride with the outrageous comedy-improv troupe that has the whole country cracking up! Golden Isles Arts and Humanities invites you, in the words of today’s digital language, to LOL! ROTFL! (Laugh Out Loud! Roll On The Floor Laughing!) as the nationally acclaimed Chicago City Limits brings their hilarious new show, Wikiphobia, to the Historic Ritz Theatre in Downtown Brunswick, Saturday, February 20, at 8:00 p.m.
The internet is slowly seeping into every corner of our lives and transforming the world as we know it: "Google" is no longer just a number; "Friend" is no longer just a noun; and virtual, user-generated facts are as good as actual, factual facts. It’s a crazy new world, and Chicago City Limits takes you there n Wikiphobia, surfing the web at high-speed, taking issue with the issues and finding comedic links between the biggest stories in the news and actual news. Whether it's global warming or global blogging, networking or Netflix, international affairs or interpersonal ones, audiences will enjoy an evening of fast-paced, high-energy comedy!
Chicago City Limits, New York City's legendary improv comedy group (yes, that's right: Chicago City Limits is based in New York!), has thrilled audiences of all ages for nearly 30 years with its unique style of humor. The group's critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway show, award-winning national touring company and top-notch improv training center have made Chicago City Limits a New York City landmark and a high-demand act throughout the U.S.
