Conversation highlights

  • Why Chicago audiences make live performance feel different.
  • How theater and radio sharpened Hill’s comic instincts.
  • What listeners can expect from the new show.

John Hill has built a career across theater, television, radio and live comedy. Ahead of his Chicago appearance, he spoke with GoPride about the work behind the performance.

GoPride: What brings you back to Chicago?

John Hill: Chicago audiences listen closely and then let you know exactly how they feel. That combination makes the room exciting.

GoPride: How has your Broadway background shaped the current show?

John Hill: Theater taught me to respect structure. Even when a moment looks loose, there is a rhythm holding it together.

A good live show feels specific to the people in the room that night.

GoPride: What do you hope people take away?

John Hill: I want them to feel like they were part of something that could only happen there—and that they laughed hard.
