News Update:

Girls Girls Girls have returned to the Hideout Main Stage with Boys of Summer 3, running through August 23rd. Get pumped for this year by reading about last year's run HERE.

"Girls Girls Girls they call themselves, and we were especially lucky to catch their recent improv gig at the Hideout. Especially lucky, because this was the start of the all-female troupe's Boys of Summer series, occurring each Saturday night [...], in which the Girls introduce a similarly talented male improviser into their hen-party hijinks.

We reckon it'd be difficult to find someone of similar talent, because the Girls (those of the group who were able to show up) – Shana Merlin, Monique Daviau, Andrea Young, Kacey Samiee, and Aden Kirschner – are so damned talented themselves. Able to pull rabbits of extemporaneous comedy from any audience-suggestion hat, the Girls are assistants only to one another's magic, and the smoothness with which they mesh their methods and madness is, at times, beyond the prestidigitation of Harry Kellar."
