March 2, 2020 - Eric Lindberg Lecture

​“Extemporaneous Thaumaturgy: A Lecture”
Or: “An Improviser, a Magician, and a Danish Elephant walk into a bar…”

Eric Lindberg has been on the ComedySportz Chicago roster since 2001. In that time, he's been in the award winning Hot Karl and the critically acclaimed Out Of Your Mind. His other credits include: The Kiss Kiss Cabaret, Those Guys: Unfiltered Those Guys: Cloned, True West, and Over the Topp Gunn. He also wrote and starred in If I Die Before I Live: A Sonny Kitchen Mystery. He also tours with his one man mentalism show.

Part One:
A few interactive improv games to broaden the noggin
A demo and discussion on how the tenets and tools of improv can benefit mystery performers and their audiences from script to stage

Part Two:
Demonstrations of 2-3 mind melting, audience slaying, reputation enhancing effects! Effects are…
-Virtually self-working
-100% guaranteed to work half of the time
-Method to effects (and my madness) to follow regardless of outcome

Time Permitting:
If you’re anything like me, and I hope you are not, you have a routine you’re sick of performing. Let’s talk about it! (Bring it along and I’ll buy ya a drink)
