/in , /by

Hey Bagels,
Time for another post on fun summer date ideas! This summer date idea is Bye Bye Liver, a satirical sketch comedy performance on young drinking culture.
We love it because the audience gets to be involved in the play and the cast is so hilarious you will not stop laughing!
WHAT: Bye Bye Liver PlayBye-Bye-Liver

WHERE: 
Boston- 25 Union St @ Hennessey’s 
Chicago– 3914 North Clark St @ The Public House Theatre
WHEN:  
Boston- Every Friday 8pm
Chicago– Every Friday & Saturday at 8 & 10 pm
3 Reasons to Check it Out

  1. Drinking Games with the cast- this play gets the audience involved by interspersing drinking games into the show! Play Never Have I Ever or Would You Rather right along with the cast.
  2. Comedy- nothing like laughing together to break the ice with someone new. Laugh a little or a lot at their clever sketches on those annoying people we’ve all seen at the bar.
  3. Cool Venues- Both locations have great vibes & drink deals!

You can buy tickets on the Bye Bye Liver website for $20 a piece- not too shabby for a great night full of drinking and comedy!
Boston Bagels- Get a 50% discount! We found a deal where you can get tickets for just $10.
This play is a perfect 75 minute ice breaker. Both venues put shows on every weekend so you Bagels have plenty of opportunities to check out this play with whichever Bagel you choose!
