An excerpt from Jude Tedmori's diary

Dear Diary,

Jude here, with some big news.  HIJINKSBUSTERS (after being pushed back a million times for things like Jangleheart, HIJINKSfest, and prom) is FINALLY tomorrow!  

In case you didn’t know, diary (AS IF I HAVEN’T TALKED ABOUT IT ENOUGH) HIJINKSBUSTERS is my DREAM SHOW! I get be a HIJINKSBUSTERS for one whole night! I get to be Jamie, Venkman, Adam, Slimer AND Carl Spackler all wrapped in a JUDE BLANKET SANDWICH! O.M.Gosh! I hope all the girls think I’m cute after the show! I’m talking to you, Steph Cook (don’t tell, diary! :-P!!!).

When I first came up with everyone’s individual HIJINKS (HIJINKS=Myth *~*ObViOuSlY*~*), I just thought it would be funny to see that specific person do it, little did I know I had stumbled upon their greatest weaknesses!

Sovereign and Two Bunnies Eating Flowers present: The Hijinks Soundtrack

In anticipation of tomorrow night's installment of their collaborative monthly sketch show Hijinks, (Clayton Margeson and Mike Klasek) and (Alex Hanpeter, Kyle Reinhard, and Jude Tedmori) have sent over some multimedia samples from the last show.

Check out the three track soundtrack from last month's inaugural show, featuring cover versions of three popular songs ("Semi-Charmed Life," "Earth Angel," and "Don't Speak"), which Jude from Two Bunnies explains: "we thought it would be funny if instead of using the original songs, we would re-record the songs by ourselves and then use those instead." Also, check out a handful of pictures shot by Dan Shar documenting the nudity, danger, and crossdressing!

See you tomorrow night at 11pm at the Public House Theater for

Interview: Two Bunnies Eating Flowers

I hit rock bottom on the fifth day of Chicago Sketch Fest. I was covering the festival for Time Out Chicago and because of my own bad judgement and general unawareness, I ended up subjecting myself to a marathon of some of the weakest sketch shows I'd seen in my life. At the end of the night, when catching up with some friends I'd ran into in the lobby, they were all incredibly enthusiastic about the show they had just saw from the relatively new Chicago-based team . My brain nearly imploded, knowing that there was something genuinely unique and cool happening while I sat through another underprepared improv troupe do another scene set in Wrigleyville.

Thankfully, Two Bunnies Eating Flowers are back at Stage 773 to perform their well-loved sketch revue ​, tomorrow night, (Saturday March 23rd), at 10:30pm. In advance of the show, I interviewed all three of Two Bunnies, Alex Hanpeter, Kyle Reinhard, and Jude Tedmori. Tickets to Horses Aren’t People, Fishes Aren’t Dogs​ are available here.
