South Side Native Featured in Storytelling Fest

South Side native and former Second City member, Jimmy Doyle, performs his original piece Sweet Jane, in Lifeline Theatre’s 25th Annual Fillet of Solo Festival, running virtually January 21- February 13.

For Doyle, Chicago is where it all started. He’s been acting since the early 1990’s and made waves as a Jeff award nominated member of Second City. Since then, Doyle has had a successful career, performing in national commercials, podcasts, commentaries and voice overs, but also as a television writer in Los Angeles. You may have seen him in his one man show in Fillet of Solo 2011, in the International Gay Theatre Festival, or Sit n Spin at the Comedy Central Stage.

Lifeline’s 25th Annual Fillet of Solo Festival celebrates the breadth of Chicago’s enduring storytelling and live-lit scene, while supporting natives like Jimmy Doyle. In its new virtual format, Lifeline unites 10 storytelling collectives and 28 solo performers together from all over the country, in a three-week online gallery of powerful, personal stories.

The 2022 Fillet of Solo Festival will stream online via a password-protected website where ticket holders will have access to the full lineup of stories until the Festival concludes. Ticket prices are “Name Your Price” (suggested $45) for access to the gallery for the full three weeks PLUS live virtual extras including panel discussions and storytelling workshops with Festival artists. Tickets are now available for purchase by calling the Lifeline Box Office, 773.761.4477, or by visiting www.lifelinetheatre.com.
