Nick Vatterott: NO OUTLET
What is NO OUTLET? It's a show that challenges all the preconceived notions of what people expect stand-up comedy to be. A show that strays from the traditional stand-up formula and applies the interweaving of material and dynamic transitions inspired by conventions found in long form improvisation. The result is a show too theatrical for comedy clubs, but it's mention of 'stand-up' scares off most theaters; hence the aptly titled 'NO OUTLET'. A title that also serves as the theme for the show; in NO OUTLET you will find a world of situations that eternally encircle themselves and a cast of characters each caught in their own perpetual search for escape.
Come see the show that Chris Singel of The Bastion called:
"... a mile a minute, beautifully crafted, perfectly executed show."
And Steve Heilsler of Time Out Chicago listed as:
"RECOMMENDED" and a "DON'T MISS", stating:
"There are no breaks, no visual aids and no opening acts - just Nick Vatterott on stage for 45 minutes and you'll laugh the entire time."
