'Whose Line' comedians bring the funny to Elgin Oct. 14

The pair takes contributions from the audience to create hilarious original scenes in their show. The interactive performance draws from some of the most popular improv games from "Whose Line," including Scenes from a Hat and Sound Effects, which calls for audience members to provide a soundtrack to the comedians' outrageous actions.

Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood were just seen on the new show “Drew Carey's Improv-a-Ganza” on the GSN Network. Currently they have their DVD COLIN & BRAD: TWO MAN GROUP which can be found at amazon.com.

Mochrie and Sherwood have been partners in the "An Evening with Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood Tour" since 2002. Mochrie got his big break in comedy in the mid-1980s when he joined the famed Second City Toronto troupe. Fun fact: Debra McGrath, the director at Second City who hired him, later married him. Mochrie has appeared in several other television shows and commercials and starred with McGrath in the 2002's completely improvised film "Expecting." Sherwood, also an alumnus of Second City, was a regular for three seasons on the British version of "Whose Line" before heading over to ABC's version. His past credits include "The Drew Carey Show" and "To Tell the Truth."

Most content in the performance is suitable for children older than 13. Tickets – priced at $20 to $65 – are on sale now at The Hemmens Box Office, online at www.hemmens.org, or charge by phone at
