SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: we’re back at @lh_schubas for our first-ever Pride celebration on Saturday, June 27 with special guest-host @parkthelark ! Plus, a percentage of all tickets sold will be donated to the fine folks at @bravespacealliance . Tickets are available now at the link in our bio and a cast announcement will follow soon. It’s gonna be a great one!!
Calling all former adolescents (that’s YOU)! We’re searching for a brave soul or two to take the stage at our upcoming Pride show, or for various future events we have cooking! If you’ve got archival material from your awkward teenage years (diaries, poems, art, whatever), we wanna know. Go to getmortified.com/participate or just DM us and we’ll chat!
I’m sorry I don’t have better photos from the show (did anyone get any??) but we’d like to sincerely thank everybody who came out to our show on Friday. We had a great time with y’all and raised some very nice money for @miracmn ! We’re sorta taking the week off to recover but will be back soon to tell you about our Pride show this June!
Meet Tucker Millett, one of the brave and generous souls dedicating their time and their adolescent shame to our show tonight at Lincoln Hall! Voted “most likely to solve a needlessly complex murder mystery,” Tucker is a stand-up comedian and producer originally from Minneapolis, now living in Chicago with his wife and two cats. His likes are craft beer and artisanal cheeses, and his dislikes are fascism and waiting in line at theme parks. You can listen to his comedy album “Dancing on the Titanic” anywhere you get comedy albums. Catch him co-hosting Prime Time at @thelincolnlodge every Saturday at 9pm, and catch him TONIGHT on our stage at @lh_schubas !
Meet Melissa Thornley, one of the brave and generous souls donating their time and their teenage angst to our stage tomorrow night at Lincoln Hall! Voted “most likely to paint her house purple,” Melissa is on a joy quest. Music, dance and theater support this obsession, as does her professional focus on how we human together. When she’s not helping teams be more emotionally intelligent, she’s a minister of all things sexy and sacred. It’s Melissa’s joy to help you get through this thing called life. You can catch Melissa dancing with Visceral Encore at @visceraldance on June 6th and 7th, and you can see her at Mortified tomorrow night! Tickets available at the link in our bio!
Meet Lu, one of the brave and generous souls volunteering their time and their teenage angst at Friday’s Mortified: Minnesota Nice show! Voted “most likely to know all about the famous crime you’re talking about,” Lu is a perimenopausal girlie trying to preserve her peace. She loves her adopted hometown of Chicago, dogs, and hyping up people she adores. Message her if you ever want to be unserious about serious things or serious about unserious things. And see her on our stage at Lincoln Hall Friday; tickets are available now at the link in our bio!
Meet Leo Laudadio, one of the brave and generous souls dedicating their time and their teenage angst to our show this Friday at Lincoln Hall! Voted “most likely to make a minor detail of a fanfic their entire personality,” Leo (they/them) is an astrological Leo who also named themself Leo, which is a very Leo thing to do. They currently hold the title of World’s Shortest Transmasc. Once a PhD researcher, Leo now works a desk job and has the carpal tunnel syndrome to prove it. You can typically find them riding their bike, at their queer game night, playing music with friends, or more recently, with their head buried in Pokemon Pokopia.
You can occasionally find Leo playing their music at Jarvis Square Tavern’s open mic on Wednesdays at 8, AND you can find Leo on our stage Friday; tickets available at the link in bio, with show proceeds going to @miracmn !
For this Friday’s show @lh_schubas , we brought in a few pals to round out our regular house band, so we could really do justice to our favorite Twin Cities music. Joining Dwight, Katie, Jeff, and Eric for one night only are Jim Snedeker on lead guitar and Nick DePrey on keys. At rehearsal last night, Katie and Nick took us to church. You ready?
Meet Law Tarello, one of the brave and generous souls donating their time and their teenage angst to our show this Friday at Lincoln Hall. Voted “most likely to start a riot,” Law Tarello is a television and Broadway actor, most notably as the recurring role of Correctional Officer Dan Dietz on the NBC/Dick Wolf drama “Chicago P.D.” His professional theatre roles include William Barfeè in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and Brian in “Avenue Q”. He is also a faculty member at The Second City. Law is represented by Paonessa Talent. You can find stand-up clips, improv comedy instructionals, and comedic musings on his Instagram.

Producer Eric here - I’ve gotten to visit the Twin Cities a couple times in the past year and I’ve had a blast each time.

I’m really thrilled to have an opportunity to raise money for our neighbors there with our upcoming benefit show for @miracmn . Ticket link in bio!
