The comedy trio Unitard continues their 25th Anniversary season with two performances of Above the Fruited Plain at Red Eye on Wednesday, May 27 and Saturday, June 13, both at 8:00 PM. For several generations, Unitard has been the combined talents of Mike Albo, Nora Burns, and David Ilku.
Unitard—intriguing and inconveniencing audiences across the country with its comic take on society, politics and social norms, have performed coast to coast as well as in Canada. Formed in 2000, the comedy trio got their start at the now-defunct nightspot Fez where many performers, including Murray Hill, Justin Vivian Bond, and others, gained audiences. For decades, their take-no-prisoners approach to sketch comedy has been poking fun at hypocrisy, shallowness, and sanctimony from the right, left and middle — a release valve for audiences desperate for a break from the BS.
Collectively and individually they have performed in venues and festivals across the US including: We’re Funny That Way: Toronto, Aspen Comedy festival, Toyota Comedy Festival, Joe’s Pub: NYC, HBO Workspace: LA, PS122: NYC, Highways: LA, SF Sketchfest: San Francisco, Andy Warhol Museum: Pittsburgh, Theater Offensive: Boston, Oberon: Harvard Square Cambridge, The Maui Cultural Center, as well as Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Provincetown, MA; and Columbus, OH. Some of their work has been featured on CNN, Bravo, VH1, Logo TV, and Comedy Central.
