Named Best Sketch Comedy Group in Chicago
-Ryan Hubbard
Chicago Reader

“…a wit that’s always firmly based in character and in situations that remain truthful however far they get pushed.”
-Tony Adler
Chicago Reader

“If you don’t absolutely love this show, I will give your money back!”
-Charna Halpern
Improv Olympic

"The Cupid Players' current (and widely popular) Friday-night show at ImprovOlympic is both refreshing and a memorably enjoyable 70 minutes... a show worth catching. The work is far better than some far more expensive relationship-musicals in town. "Cupid" is full of wit & zest."
-Chris Jones
Chicago Tribune

"The talented, high energy cast is terrific.  They change characters swiftly and convincingly, and director Brian Posen (he also performs and plays the piano) keeps the many story lines engaging and clear, even in the virtuoso final scene, when the characters come together in surprising ways"
-Jennifer Vanasco
Chicago Reader

"You have to see "It's Not The Heat, It's The Cupidity" to fully grasp how eight people and a series of sketches can be so entertaining, you are still talking (and laughing) three days later. One of the most encouraging aspects of the show is that the group rarely goes for the easiest laugh possible...they throw you a curve ball and you are swooning or laughing yourself silly. Brian Posen's vision has brought sketch comedy to a level that transcends scat humor and predictability."
-Paul Barile
Chicago Arts And Entertainment

"...sharply original...will make you laugh."
