Tellin' Tales Theatre takes its mission "to shatter barriers between the disabled and non-disabled worlds through the transformative power of personal story" to the world of improv with the show What's Yours Like? Team members include those with and without disabilities who will perform Sundays Feb. 4, 11, 18, 25 at 7pm at Malarkey Comedy at 1501 N. Kingsbury in Chicago. Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for students/people with disabilities at https://malarkeycomedy.com/sho...

What's Yours Like? is inspired by a theme developed by the audience at the start of each show. Then, the improvisers leap into action and develop humorous and unpredictable narratives in real time. The end result matches the spontaneity and unpredictability of life, making each show a unique experience. "Mine is shriveled." "Mine vibrates." "Mine hangs to the left."... "What's yours like?"

There is audio interpretation on February 11 and ASL interpretation on February 18.
