The trains are late, the apps are broken, the bees are dying, and the algorithm knows your deepest fears. So what do we do? We laugh. Loudly. Together. In a dark theater. With strangers.<\/p>\n
Late Stage Everything<\/em>, now playing at The Annoyance Theatre, isn\u2019t just a sketch show\u2014it\u2019s a rebellion. A ritual. A release. It\u2019s a group of wildly funny performers asking, What if we made joy anyway?<\/em><\/p>\nSet in a world that looks suspiciously like our own (if a little more cursed), this late-night fever dream explores grief, revolt, and politely disassociating in public. It\u2019s part s\u00e9ance, part tantrum, part group hug\u2014delivered with the kind of unhinged sincerity only Chicago\u2019s comedy scene can offer.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t escapism. It\u2019s confrontation through catharsis. And it\u2019s really, really funny.<\/p>\n
In a time when everything feels broken, Late Stage Everything<\/em> dares to build something weird and joyful from the ruins. Come scream-laugh with us. It might be the most radical thing you do all week.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"the-annoyance-sketch-show-late-stage-everything","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE.jpg","id":984514,"extension":"jpg","width":1080,"height":800,"filesize":517105,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":900,"height":667,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":175139,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE-900x667.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":11105,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":569,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":132614,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE-768x569.jpg"},"portrait":{"width":500,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":92853,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE-500x600.jpg"},"landscape":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":76030,"url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LATE-STAGE-SOCIAL-MEDIA-SQUARE-BLUE-600x400.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-08-24 20:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"08","day":"24","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-08-24 21:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"08","day":"24","hour":"21","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-08-25 01:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"08","day":"25","hour":"01","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-08-25 02:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"08","day":"25","hour":"02","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CDT","cost":"$15","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["15"]},"website":"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yspcuwpy","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Music & Comedy","slug":"music-comedy","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1242,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":1591,"filter":"raw","id":1242,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/1242","collection":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Theatre & Performing Arts","slug":"theater-performing-arts","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1244,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":1223,"filter":"raw","id":1244,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/1244","collection":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":91696,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2019-08-07 19:55:00","date_utc":"2019-08-08 00:55:00","modified":"2023-10-18 11:27:03","modified_utc":"2023-10-18 16:27:03","url":"https:\/\/www.choosechicago.com\/venue\/the-annoyance-theatre\/","venue":"The Annoyance Theatre","slug":"the-annoyance-theatre","address":"851 W.

Cappella Pratensis transforms Renaissance polyphony from dusty manuscript to living sound. One of the world\u2019s only ensembles to sing directly from historical notation, their collective voice brings 15th- and 16th-century music to life with an immersive, historically informed approach. Their performances blend scholarship with artistry, incorporating improvisation, liturgical reconstructions, and collaborations with actors, digital animators, and dancers.\u00a0Their latest projects continue to push boundaries, proving that centuries-old music can still surprise, move, and resonate.<\/p>\n
With this programme, the Gramophone Award-winning ensemble Cappella Pratensis presents Guillaume Dufay\u2019s sumptuous\u202fMissa Ecce ancilla Domini<\/em>\u00a0framed\u202fwithin the ritual context of the\u202fMissa Aurea<\/em>, or Golden Mass, as celebrated in the fifteenth century.\u00a0The performance includes a semi-staged liturgical drama in which the roles of Gabriel and Mary are played by members of the ensemble, inspired by some of the more colorful descriptions of the medieval period.\u00a0Evoking the sights and sounds of medieval music, the eight singers of Cappella Pratensis perform huddled around a single choirbook, conjuring an intense and intimate soundworld.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
