ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
Jessee Groove is a writer, singer-songwriter, musician, actress, and aspiring revolutionary. Through her work, she hopes to connect with those who feel overwhelmed by the moment but still try to show up. This show is a hug for the helpers and the hopefuls.
Farai Gotora is a writer and comedian currently living in Chicago, IL. She observes scenes in the world and writes about them in funny, unexpected ways. Her writing and comedy range from ridiculous to insightful, and she has performed for a wide range of audiences.
Hobert Thompson is a comedian, producer, and gourmand. You can see his live D&D show, Thirst for Adventure, at the Lincoln Lodge.
Morgan Leigh is a stand-up comic, improviser, and sketch performer in Chicago. After dropping out of graduate school and failing as a news reporter, Morgan began her career in South Bend, IN, and Indianapolis. She was a finalist in the 2023 Indiana's Funniest competition and performed at festivals, including the Columbus Comedy Festival, Middle Ground, and the Laughayette Comedy Festival. She is a graduate of the Second City improv program. Her comedy is full of energy with a twist of self-deprecation and relatable storytelling.
Anna Whiters is a 29-year-old Chicago girl who recently wandered into the world of improv, so if she bombs on stage, she wants you to know she's committed to the bit. She's excited to play Dorinda and bring her to life—hopefully with more laughs than awkward silences!
Featured Guest:
Olivia Love is a multi-instrumentalist folk and country artist in Chicago. Exploring explicitly queer themes through a medium typically associated with “tradition,” they make and perform music with the primary goal of increasing visibility and safety for queer and trans people in country music. Taking inspiration primarily from outlaw country and classic folk standards, their music (usually performed with full band Olivia and the Lovers) seeks to capture universal emotions in the singular way in which queer people experience them.
