Every Friday Night
​at 9:30 PM

Hitch*Cocktails is Chicago’s premiere improvised genre and drink show. Every week they create a never before-seen improvised suspense/thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock.

CAST & CREATIVES GET TICKETS GALLERY

By the end, the audience can't stand the suspense!
The actors can't stand at all!

Hitch*Cocktails starts with a fear—but not an ordinary fear—one that is unique to that night's audience. What unfolds from that suggestion is a full-length improvised thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock: stylish, suspenseful, and entirely unscripted.

A fully stocked bar stands on stage, and the actors' game is simple but unforgiving: if a drink is offered, it must be consumed before the scene is over.  This means every show gets more complicated—one way or another. As the stakes keep rising, the cast keeps drinking, the performances get bolder, the danger gets closer, and the suspense gets more hilariously heightened.

"RATHER THAN DELIBERATELY APING CHARACTERS AND SCENARIOS FROM HITCHCOCK THRILLERS, (THIS) NIMBLE CAST DROVE INTO THE NARRATIVE WITH STYLIZED APLOMB, TYING IN EARLIER NUGGETS OF INFORMATION AND LEAVING NO MACGUFFIN UNTURNED."
