“An explosion of dancing” is the best medicine: Comedy Dance Chicago

Sesaya Arts Magazine

Alejandra Jimenez

“Dance brings so much joy on its own that it just seems obvious to me that it can also be a form of comedy.” Within this observation (which may not feel obvious to many readers) lies the essence of Comedy Dance Chicago, one of the most unusual acts appearing at the 2025 Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival...

This new run of Comedy Dance Chicago at the iO Theater zooms in on the types of movement we might encounter in everyday life, reenacting the absurdity with physicality, visual gags and facial expressions as punchlines.

Fittingly, the Comedy Dance Collective’s new, titleless show at the iO takes place at the Chris Farley Cabaret. It’s a lot of dancing, yes. It’s a lot of laughs, sure.
