ASSEMBLERS 2: GAMMA-RADIOACTIVE BOOGALOO

In a post-Avengers world, the superhero craze just keeps getting stronger. So, the creators of The pH Comedy Theater's hit show, The Assemblers , have once again heeded the call to give the citizens of Chicago an all new original super-satire of the comic book genre. Assemblers 2 is a sketch comedy show that explores all aspects of the modern superhero and his or her universe. From the skies of Metropolis to the depths of the sea, Assemblers 2 explodes into the fray with new sketches about the frustrations of the geek, the plight of mere humans in a superhuman world, and the warped mind of the costumed vigilante. There will be fighting. There will be singing. But most of all, there will be epic laughter.

"We're riffing on comic book movies, but it's not really a sequel" says Assemblers 2 writer and ensemble member Austin Campion . "You don't need to have seen the previous sketch show to ‘get' this one."

Assemblers 2 is meant for mature audiences and will be performed every Friday at 9:30 pm at The pH Comedy Theater , 1515 W. Berwyn in Andersonville, from June 7 through July 19. The show is BYOB.

Assemblers 2 is created by Steve Hund and is directed by Brett Mannes . It is written and performed by pH Comedy Theater ensemble members Kayce Alltop , Austin Campion , Amy Couey , Drew Current , Colt Duba , Scott Hogan , and Steve Hund .
