The Shock T's
Shock T's is a comedy band who got together and started writing songs that made them laugh. They rocked comedy venues around Chicago and quickly began booking festivals across the US.
Their music has been compared to Flight of the Conchords and The Lonely Island with catchy riffs and endless styles. Songs are 100% original, and sometimes improvised on the spot. Shock T's shows are tailored to the audience, rated PG-13, electrified with wit and high energy.
Get to know the real Shock T's on stage, in an experience that leaves audiences cheering for more.
Reformed Whores
What do you get when you combine an accordion, a ukulele, and two southern belles who've washed away their sins but forgot to rinse out their mouths? The musical/comedy duo Reformed Whores, of course! These funny ladies have serenaded fans across the country from Chicago to New York City. Notable venues include Upright Citizens Brigade, PIT, Mercury Lounge, Stand Up NY, and many more. They have shared the stage with well-known comedians such as Morgan Murphy, Matt McCarthy, Hannibal Buress, and Wyatt Cenac. Based in Brooklyn but hailing from the south, Reformed Whores sing about everything from venereal disease to drunk dialing with sweet harmonies and old-fashion flair. Watch them struggle to clean up their act at this knee slapping, toe tapping, hoedown.
