Review - TimeOut Chicago:
"One of my favorite groups to perform at the Fest. Ken Hall and Isaac Kessler ran around the tiny stage at Chemically Imbalanced creating madcap scenes that included imagining composer Phillip Glass as a boxer and Ronald McDonald as a murderer. Their acting was physical and first-class, their object work immense and their plot lines outrageous. It was great improv." - TimeOut Chicago, CIF
"I had the pleasure of working with these guys in Toronto. I don't know if I have seen a more physical group. Tired of talking heads, see this show. These guys will do anything, and commit to the end." Jet Eveleth, Artistic Producer Chicago Improv Festival, member of The Reckoning.

Their show can best be described as patient and character driven, but
then again it is improv so who knows what will happen.
