The sketch group Hijinks has never settled for just being funny. In fact, the five-person troupe has never done the same show twice, no matter how many laughs it might have gotten on a particular night. Having for the past year put on monthly experimental shows utilizing offbeat formats and styles in nontraditional venues, Hijinks this month moves to a permanent home at iO. As a housewarming in its new digs, the group is doing something else it’s never done before—a 12-hour marathon production dubbed Hijinks Fest: We’re All Gonna Die.
Despite the extraordinary circumstances of their production, Hijinks members share the primary concern that afflicts all comedians. “I just hope people don’t stop laughing,” Tedmori says. “Laughing is so exhausting.”
Sat 2/7, noon-midnight iO Theater 1501 N. Kingsburyhijinksfest.com $20, $15 in advance, $25 for VIP and trolley show
