Heavy Opens Friday!

New Sketch Group to Take on Weighty Issues
Family Friendly show grabs late night spot for debut
HEAVY features calorie-free laughter and music to kick off summer
HEAVY is here. The family-friendly sketch group featuring Katy Orender, Zach Johnson-Dunlop, and Paul Barile will make its debut at 10:30 p.m., Friday, May 25 at the bucket at Live Bait Theater 3914 N. Clark.

HEAVY features the trials and tribulations of being a plus-sized person in a Paris Hilton-sized world. With all original material including songs and other surprises, HEAVY promises to entertain and maybe enlighten.

Eat or No Eat pits Barile against Johnson-Dunlop in a battle of nutrition trivia which – inevitably – ends up with one or the other eating whatever is concealed in one of 5 lunch bags in front of them.

The Pencil Test brings husky audience members right into the world of HEAVY in ways they can’t even imagine.

BUFFET MAN is Faster than a three-legged busboy… More powerful than a mouthful of wasabi… Able to leap screaming steam tables in a single bound

Babe and the Fat Guy reinvent true crime television.

Directed by Lavina Jadhwani, HEAVY tackles with humor and warmth and maybe a little vitriol thrown in for good measure. HEAVY was written by award-winning playwright Barile (a n.u.f.a.n ensemble founder) and Zach Johnson-Dunlop (n.u.f.a.n ensemble artistic associate) with Katy Orender (resident hottie). Catriona Johnson is stage manager.

HEAVY opens 10:30 p.m., Friday, May 25 at the bucket at Live Bait Theater 3914 N. Clark. The show runs through Friday June 22. All shows are at 10:30 p.m. Friday nights.
Ticket price is $10.00. For more information call 773-282-0344 or log on at

I didn't think you had, but wanted to make sure that the fact you were called "the resident hottie" was noticed. ;-)

You are, you know. Quite a cutie in my opinion.
