Sexy happenings of the day: Cupid Has A Heart On, Skinprov
COMEDY - Cupid Has A Heart On
On the surface, iO’ s long-running musical comedy Cupid Has A Heart On, which plays every Saturday at the Del Close Theater, pays tribute to romance in the City of Big Shoulders. But make no mistake: With songs about masturbation, one-night stands and genitalia, this Cupid aims to penetrate more than just your heart. Fellas in search of a first-date icebreaker, look no further. iO Del Close Theater, 3541 N Clark, (773)-880-0199. 10:30pm, $20.
ART - Gutter Bunny Project
The term “gutter bunnies” refers to nothing more salacious than hardcore commuter cyclists. But we know those fit, environmentally conscious men and women roll through many Chicagoans’ fantasies anyway. Perhaps the bike-inspired art of the one-night exhibition “ Gutter Bunny Project” will attract that cutie who almost ran you over on the sidewalk last week. white box space gallery, 837 N Western Ave, breathedenver.com. 7 pm.
AROUND TOWN - pHrenzy pHucked
There’ s no shortage of dirty talk at pHrenzy pHucked. The late-night raunchy improv has an interactive spin, allowing audiences to eliminate performers. studio BE, 3110 N Sheffield Ave (773-732-5450, whatisph.com). Fridays and Saturdays at midnight, $10.
COMEDY - Skinprov
We don’ t know why, but dudes performing comedy love to get naked onstage. In Skinprov, a weekly show happening every Saturday at the Annoyance, a bunch of guys find an excuse to strip to their undies in the first scene and stay in a state of undress for the rest of the show. Yep, you guessed it: Horny bachelorettes love this. Annoyance Theater, 4830 N Broadway, (773)-561-4665. Saturdays at midnight, $7.
DANCE - Forbidden Boundaries
No Chicago troupe has done more than River North Chicago Dance Company to market itself as the sexy choice, as evidenced by its recent re-branding and sweaty print-ad campaigns. Hotter than the glistening pecs and strong, shapely legs, however, is the power these versatile dancers bring to works like artistic director Frank Chaves’ s Forbidden Boundaries, one of six dances playing Skokie’ s North Shore Center for the Performing Arts Saturday 23. Have other, naughtier plans that night? The program repeats at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park November 13. Centre East Theatre, 9501 Skokie Blvd., Skokie, (847)-673-6300, http://209.200.109.35/calendar2.cfm?event_id=1939. 8pm.
FILM - Salt
Let’ s not pretend you’ re interested in seeing spy thriller Salt for the incisive political allegory. You’ re going down to Doc Films because the secret agent in question is Angelina Jolie, and when it comes to sexy ass-kicking, nobody does it better. Put her up against Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and you’d have achieved the total restoration of the “ spies are sexy” idea that died around the time Roger Moore took over the role of James Bond. See Indies. University of Chicago, 1212 E 59th St. 7pm and 9pm.
THEATER - Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind
If you get hot for honesty or equate smarty-pants with sexy pants, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is your jam. The always clever Neo-Futurists’ frank, fresh mini plays provide conversation fodder that can get all sorts of juices flowing. And nothing will up your sex appeal like introducing a date to this hip late-night scene. Neo Futurarium, 5153 N Ashland Ave. (773)-275-5255. 11:30pm, $10-15.
THEATER - The Wild Party Variety Hour
Featuring music, comedy sketches, burlesque performances from the likes of Lady Jack (pictured, with hosts Marvin Quijada, left, and Nathan Paul) and a well-lubricated BYOB audience, Silent Theatre’ s The Wild Party Variety Hour is just the thing to start a wild party of your own. Prop Thtr, 3502-4 N Elston Ave. (773)-539-7838, 10:30 pm, $10.
BOOKS - Sara Marcus and Jessica Hopper reading
It would be pretty tin-eared of us to recommend a riot grrrl event as a place to meet women, since not objectifying women is kind of the whole point. But this Sara Marcus and Jessica Hopper reading on Saturday 23 is likely to attract smart and musical women and dudes who are into that scene, which we hope is more your thing, anyway. Quimbys, 1854 N Ave., quimbys.com. 7pm.
