The Practical Theater Co. presents: The Vic & Paul Show

Former Saturday Night Live writer Paul Barrosse and his wife, Victoria Zielinski -- veterans of The Practical Theatre Company -- perform “The Vic & Paul Show”, an evening of comedy, music, marriage & martinis. It’s a smart, adult comedy revue, unlike anything since the days of Mike Nichols & Elaine May.

Vic & Paul have fun with romance, marriage and the battle of the sexes, but their eclectic satiric targets range from Mayor Rahm Emmanuel to Jane Austen, Greek tragedy, whiskey tasting, and the sorry state of TV news. Musical director Steve Rashid accompanies them on keyboards and performs his own brand of satirical songwriting, as the trio returns to what they made national headlines doing before they became parents (and sent kids off to college): performing sophisticated comedy and songs in an intimate cabaret setting.

“One of the theatrical events of the year is the return of Paul Barrosse and Victoria Zielinski to the Chicago stage with ‘The Vic & Paul Show’… I know it’s a lofty comparison, but you guys are the new Nichols & May, as far as I’m concerned… As sharp and topical as anything I’ve heard in some time.” Rick Kogan, WGN
