BOOK OF MORMON's Christopher John O'Neill to Return to The PIT in THE CHRIS & PAUL SHOW, 9/21

On Monday, September 21st at 7pm, Christopher John O'Neill, Broadway's current Elder Cunningham in BOOK OF MORMON will take his dark night and bring his sketch duo back to their old stomping ground, The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT).

Before O'Neill was winning the Helen Hayes award as Elder Cunningham or tearing up the Broadway stage, The Chris & Paul Show was selling out monthly at The PIT.

Finally, the award-winning, Edinburgh-Fringe-Best-Newcomer-finalist Chris and Paul Show returns to the Pit, with sketches old and new. Join them for their trademark absurdism, wit and large helping of visual comedy.... "It's a uniquely warming show," someone-or-other wrote of them. "A very different, very funny hour of comedy." And another person entirely (honest!) said, "The vaudeville-inspired pair [sometime] seem to be a couple of overgrown schoolboys, a dynamic that endures throughout their endearingly innocent sketches."

Tickets are just $10 and on sale now at thepit-nyc.com/event/the-chris-and-paul-show.
