For more than a decade Gag Reflex Comedy Theater has proven itself to be one of Chicago's busiest and best comedy groups. Their wonderful blend of sketch comedy and music has garnered praise from critics and fans alike. From their first show, 1993's Jurassic Pork (or Man Is My Dino Sore), to this year's Desperate Houseflies (or What;s Larva Got To Do With It),Gag has logged in hundreds of performing hours and have delighted thousands of people. And they continue to grow. Since their start in 1993 the group has produced 3 albums, 13 episodes of an internet radio show (which is now being repeated as a podcast), dozens of free mp3 releases and they have written and performed over 400 sketches and songs. 2005 finds them in residency at a suburban Chicago theater and producing a new TV series for Chicago area cable.

Always a crowd-pleaser, Gag Reflex has been compared favorably to Second City and 70's era Saturday Night Live in newspapers of all sizes from college papers to The Chicago Sun-Times.

As for the music, to quote Copley Press; "Gag Reflex is never better than when they satirize through their songs." Since the beginning Gag Reflex has balanced tight sketches with catchy, hilarious songs and the mix always gets a wonderful reaction from the audience. Fans have come to expect a few musical encores at the end of shows and on several occasions the after show music/party lasted longer than the actual show!
