The Annoyance Sketch Show: Late Stage Everything

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.

Late Stage Everything, now playing at The Annoyance Theatre, isn’t just a sketch show—it’s a rebellion. A ritual. A release. It’s a group of wildly funny performers asking, What if we made joy anyway?

Set 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’s part séance, part tantrum, part group hug—delivered with the kind of unhinged sincerity only Chicago’s comedy scene can offer.

This isn’t escapism. It’s confrontation through catharsis. And it’s really, really funny.

In a time when everything feels broken, Late Stage Everything 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.
