You've Come a Long Way, Baby...

Things are buzzing with excitement around the Candy in Church offices because there are a lot of new things happening to our group. First of all, our own Jenny Schuler designed, coded, and built us this fantastic new website. Don't get me wrong, the old one was fantastic, but this is beyond mind-blowing. It's pure awesome (and she's available for hire, folks!) Our new website interacts much better with social media. Of course, there are still sections to book us and watch our videos, but now we have a "meet the team" section, a new blog (as you've stumbled across) and an updated show section. So check it all out! Jenny put a ton of time and effort into the site and I think it is a good representation of the level we've taken CiC to - we were once a simple college improv club, and 5 years later we've come a long way.

We've started to book a lot more gigs as well, and not too soon. Our goal is to have a gig a month and so far this year has started out right. We did a New Year's Eve show for Calvary Reformed Church in Orland Park, and we're headed to Pressure Comedy Cafe, located on Chicago's north side on January 22nd and Chicory Cafe in South Bend, IN on February 5.

We've also got several gigs in the works in the South and West side of Chicago so there's plenty of opportunities to see us, and we'd love to have you come out to our shows. I think I can speak for the entire team when I say our fan-base is the most important aspect of everything we do. Without you, we'd be doing improv for an empty room, and that's when they stick you in a straight jacket and haul you away.

So keep in touch with us via facebook, twitter, or just visit our new website. We love interacting with you via this new-fangled technology, and we love seeing you in person at our shows.

Keep on Candying,
