Website Stir Friday Night!
Legacy. Chicago's longest-running Asian American comedy team.
Thank you so much for considering auditioning for Stir Friday Night! Chicago’s longest-running non-profit Asian American Comedy Theater Organization.
Stir Friday Night! (SFN) is proud to be not only a theater organization celebrating and highlighting some of the best AAPI comedy talent in Chicago but also one of the few institutions that is frequently compensated to perform or host workshops for corporations, schools, and festivals all around the world.
In order to achieve those bookings, there is a level of professionalism and conduct that is necessary in order to meet that standard.
Consequently, if invited to join our ensemble, here are some of our baseline expectations.
SFN meets weekly on Monday Nights from 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm. If you cannot make yourself available weekly, please do not audition.
Stir Friday Night is a sketch and improv team. We won’t always be working on a sketch show, and you can choose to opt out of the sketch show. However, when in process for the show, there will be an expectation to revise sketches we’ve worked on in rehearsal at home and bring them in the next week. If you do not feel like you would be able to write/revise weekly, do not audition.
