"High Holy Saturday"

420 Eve and Easter collided at the Lodge with a stacked lineup. Yarnmaze set the tone with a dog-almost-euthanized-by-Cook-County saga and high holy day wordplay. Conor Cawley turned front-row heckler into the show's main character, riffing on baldness and neighbor dynamics. Becca Nix Tham repped the sober folks of with a very specifc trifecta of traits and closed on a dermatologist visit that became a generational trauma punchline. Co-producer Katie Mark educated the audience on seance math and body farms. Hannah Belmont hit hard with micro-penis callbacks, Sniffy app horror, and a genuinely funny RFK Jr. takedown. Melvin Stewart brought it home with a story about a son whose favorite game has them banned from a certain Chicagoland grocery store.
