Chicago might not be hosting any international soccer matches this summer, but comedians Max Kantor and Ian Mullen are bringing the stadium energy straight to the stage. “The Soccer Show” is a chaotic, six-week comedy variety production running Saturdays at The Annoyance Theatre. Blending sharp sketch comedy, heavy improvisation, and rotating surprise guests from Chicago’s local soccer community, the show hilariously tackles everything from kit culture and fan traditions to federation politics. It’s the perfect $14 alternative for anyone who knows sports culture is inherently ridiculous.
