Second City Chicago - Show Review
Iraqtile Dysfunction(on the Main Stage)Iraqtile, directed by Ron West, covers topics ranging from President Bush and South Side interrogators to Catholic priests and liberal bull. Just like most comedy, the current administration gets poked fun at more than the left.
