The Journal
You're invited to explore the exciting stories behind an experience, an expression, an experiment, or an expedition in an exceptional example of extemporaneous storytelling.
The X-Fools
The truth is out there. Unfortunately, so are The X-Fools. Step back into the 90s for a fully improvised dive into conspiracies, unsolved phenomena, and government secrets that were probably better left unsolved. You may have heard of our peers Mulder and Scully, but even they have standards. The rest are up to The X-Fools.

With Raquel Maldonado and Eliana La Casa!
The show is 100% performed in Spanish
Comediantes Raquel Maldonado de Venezuela (campeones de béisbol) y Eliana La Casa de Argentina (subcampeones de fútbol y campeones de todo lo demás).
Dos mujeres hablando de aquello de lo que no tienen ni idea. Y esta vez, ustedes también van a demostrar cuánto no saben. Nadie sale del show sabiendo más de deportes. Pero sí sale sabiendo cosas que hubiera preferido no saber.
Eliana La Casa trae su comedia filosa y sin filtros, destacada en Comedy Central Latinoamérica y BBC Radio 4, elegida Mejor Comediante de Stand-Up de Chicago por el Chicago Reader, y con la dosis justa de arrogancia argentina que uno esperaría de alguien que realmente se la cree.
Raquel Maldonado es una comediante venezolana experta en convertir malas decisiones en stand-up. Con un estilo ácido, irónico y profundamente honesto, habla de relaciones, cultura, expectativas sociales y todo eso que uno debería procesar en terapia… pero mejor lo dice en un micrófono. Se ha presentado en múltiples ciudades de Estados Unidos, Canadá y Latinoamérica, compartiendo escenario con reconocidos comediantes de la escena hispana.
Buy ahead and save, tickets $25 online, $30 at the door.
