Blewt! is happy to announce that Impress These Apes will be returning to the ComedySportz Theatre in June of 2010 for its 5th season. Bushmeat, Apehab, and Barry Shirley will be judging and harrassing eight new contestants in a series of brand new diabolical talent challenges. The show will be on Monday nights, at 8pm, from June 7th through July 26th.

Steve Gadlin, founder of Blewt!, was just named by New City as one of “The 50 People Who Really Perform for Chicago” in a list published today. You can read about it on their web site, or just check out this nifty pull quote below.
48. Steve Gadlin
Comedy actor
Gadlin and his fellow Blewt! collaborators breathe new life into the Chicago comedy scene each year with their improv-talent-show mashup known as Impress These Apes (which wrapped its fourth season in the fall). Gadlin’s fey performance as one of the ape judges on the panel (a character called Barry Shirley) is an inspired riff on Charles Nelson Reilly, and it is always, always funny. Not to mention the “talents” he and his partners dream up each week for the competition, which are bizarre but terribly fruitful.
Whoopy!
