THE HOBO ROBO NEW COMEDY FESTIVAL 3: HOBOS IN SPACE! Kicks Off

By:

Hobo Junction kicks off their SCI-FI Comedy season with THE HOBO ROBO NEW COMEDY FESTIVAL 3: HOBOS IN SPACE! Just like last time, Hobo Junction has scoured the earth for brand new 10-minute comedy shorts (this time with a sci-fi theme) and 8 Chicago-Land Directors have chosen from over 200 submissions from around the world (and possibly beyond) to be performed and harshly judged by the audience for THREE NIGHTS ONLY! The winning director and writer will each get a cash reward from the coveted Junction Treasury and will be crowned victorious, showered with praise and achieve Ultimate Comedy Glory. Come see returning champion director Mike Glazer defend his title against Kyra Lewandowski, Breahan Eve Pautsch, Dan Krall, Jamie Bragg, Timothy Bambara, Katie Kasper and Richard Paro. Who will win? Who will fall? Who will survive...in space.

Run time is approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.
Media passes, photographs and additional materials available.
