BIT Improv Comedy Network | MAIN STAGE13 Helmi

Jay Sukkow | Improv Icon + Guest Monologist

Jay Sukow's Glenwood stories spark a full-scale town meltdown featuring pizza wars, gossip culture, jailhouse romance, and a rapidly disappearing population.

First, an apology.

Billy was scheduled to host Jay.
Billy refused to take the interview.
There may have been… financial tension.

Gail stepped in. Everyone survived.

The Town

Jay takes us back to Glenwood, Illinois — a place where:

Everyone knows your business
The Glenwood School for Boys is a constant threat
Teens sneak beers in the forest preserve
Deep dish is strictly for tourists

Real Chicago pizza is tavern-style. Square cut. No debate.

What the Cast Builds

From Jay's hometown memories, the ensemble creates:

A gossip podcast about everyone's business
Murder-for-hire teenagers (discount pricing)
Competing pizza wars
Jailhouse proms
Funeral pizza parties
Oompa Loompa labor disputes
Alien population control

Population: decreasing.

Apologies

We apologize to:
Glenwood, Jay, deep dish fans, Oompa Loompas, and the funeral industry.

We do not apologize for tavern-style pizza.
