The Chicago Reader says, “Amanda Rountree is a riot!”  Audience members have described the show as “inspiring,” “funny,” “beautiful,” and “a must-see!“  The Chicagoist picked this show as one of their “three to see.”  There is only one more show left:  this Thursday, March 28 at 8pm and I am so very excited that the funny and talented Amy Sumpter opens for me on closing night!  Click here to watch a trailer for the show.  You can also click here to read a review of the show.

sumpterAmy Sumpter is a comedic actress who has focused mainly on stand-up for 5 years.  She is a regular performer of The Kates, can be seen in Beast Women, and if you’re lucky you may see her performing in her car.  Just pretend you didn’t see her talking to herself…she is doing bits!
