Sometimes, I think I take myself too literally.

Two More Chicago Monkey Appearances!

Last night’s show was great!  The folks at Stage 773 are delightful, Kelsie Huff’s opening act was stellar, and the audience was terrific.  It’s always fun to hear people’s take on the show after seeing it.  It’s admittedly not your run-of-the-mill solo show.  Because there are three sock-monkeys whose dialogue the audience “fills in” in…
