IMHO’s New Year’s Eve Party!
2025-12-31 21:30 - 23:30 | The Den Theater, 1331 N Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL, 60622, United States
The ‘P’ today stands for ‘Party, New Year’s Eve!’ The ladies of IMHO are back in Chicago, gay people & others, with a brand new show! This time, Darby and Alexis promise to keep it at a tight 90 minutes…or like…a loose 120. Let’s take that gamble together! There will be singing, dancing sort of I mean not really, comedy, trauma, and videos that YouTube called, ‘not appropriate!’ AND you get to countdown with the ladies, so you can watch as they beg for kisses!
Darby Lynn Cartwright is a [redacted]-year-old drag queen with a heart of gold and arteries that her doctors have called ‘worrisome.’ She hosts a YouTube series, ‘IMHO: The Show,’ and podcast, ‘IMHO: The Podcast,’ with her best co-worker/acquaintance, Alexis Bevels. She also hosts a podcast with her twin brother called Twinnuendo. Spoiler: they are *not* fans of their dad. Darby has a couch in front of her TV (she invented that layout), so she gets to lie down while she watches K-Dramas about falling in love with demons, who are also horses, I think? Darby lives in LA, near Mark Hamill. She almost ran him over with her car when Luke Skywalker was Luke JAYWALKING. That’s a real story, but the word play makes it sound fake. It’s not. He was wearing these like big, ’80s radio headphones with an antenna. Darby has never seen a single Star Wars because she hates war and space.
Alexis P. Bevels is a singing, dancing, twirling queen with a head full of air and a heart full of gold. She began her journey in musical theatre, but didn’t want to play just one part. She wanted to be the lead and the director… and the costume designer… and the stage manager. That said, she became a full-time drag queen! She lives in LA at the bottom of a hill, which worries her because of mudslides. When she’s not in constant fear for her life, she has a BOYFRIEND NOW!! You can Google it. It’s true. You can also find Alexis on the award-winning YouTube series IMHO: The Show and the awards-not-yet-winning podcast, IMHO: The Podcast! Otherwise, she’s probably just lying down and thinking about pogs.

The Uncanny Attic: Chapters E-H A Beautifully Gruesome Production
2026-01-15 19:30 - 21:00 | Steppenwolf, 1650 N. Halsted St., Chicago, IL, 60614, United States
The camp macabre world of Edward Gorey returns to Steppenwolf in the second installment of this absurdist dark comedy anthology told through puppetry, clowning, dance, live music, song, animation and an unhealthy dose of death.
Co-creators Jennifer Friedrich (Incurable Theater, Redmoon Theater) and Bazuka Joe (Poonie’s Cabaret, Newport Theater Camp) pay homage to Gorey’s legendary style of satire and non-sequitur storytelling with an original script inspired by moments from the artist’s life. Taking place in a mysterious attic of an abandoned Colonial house on the cape, the story follows a cast of doomed characters through a series of not-so-random circumstances.
Performed by ensemble members Monsieur Bombastic, Derry-Éire, Lady Ve’Lush and Marla Wyrd, this performance also features Evan Richter and Sam Hammer (Hot Clown Company), singer Harlie Hellfire, poet Kost, contortionist Dahlia Fatale and performance artist Harley Go’Lightly. Original stop motion animation by Susie Kirkwood and accompanying score by Liam Davis. Illustration and fanny puppet by Ken Gerleve.
The Uncanny Attic has been featured at events through Artist Book House and is housed in the Newport Theater, Chicago’s home for fringe, experimental theater. Find out more at www.TheUncannyAttic.com or follow on social media @theuncannyattic.
