Jangleheart Circus - Upstairs Gallery Goes Galactic
What is this?
A Jangleheart Circus is a three-day (mostly improv) comedy festival organized by the Upstairs Gallery at the Den Theatre on August 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. It features Upstairs Gallery Improv House teams as well as tons of other fantastic teams/performers from Chicago and beyond.

Why?
Chicago is a city with an amazing sketch and improv community. This festival is a chance for us to share those ideas and what the Upstairs Gallery does on a larger scale.
We think it's important to celebrate what's being done right now, so we're gathering some of our favorite performers together to showcase our city, the work being done here, and some of the amazing people who make up the improv and sketch community.
That's what Jangleheart Circus is to us. We hope you'll join us.
What's the Den Theatre like?
It's great! It is a multi theater complex in the super cool Wicker Park Neighborhood of Chicago. We've rented out the entire second floor with 3 theaters and two lobby spaces. The stages are called:
Scraps Castle
Wolfs Den
Crabby Cove

Why day passes? Why can't I buy a ticket to see the one show I really want to see?
Because we want you to come and see a TON of shows! If you want to just see that one team, you can do that all year long. Chances are you can catch any of the groups performing often all over the city. The idea behind Jangleheart Circus is to expose audiences and performers to creative shows that they might not be familiar with.
Also, you just pay the $20 and then can see everything? That's the best. We really hope you will attend because you want to be a part of this experience instead of just catching one or two sets.
So I'm buying a ticket and there is no guarantee I'll get to see everything that I want?
It may happen, and we're sorry for that. BUT! We're going to have shows going on three stages, so if you get shut out of one show, there are going to be two other great groups playing at the same time. Plus, we're going to have some cool stuff going on in the lobby area as well.
