History | Awards | Comedy Revues

GayCo Productions is a not-for-profit theatre ensemble that specializes in creating sketch-comedy revues based on gay/lesbian themes. Since starting as a lesbigay focused workshop at the Second City Training Center in 1996, we've performed for massive, enthusiastic, sexy gay audiences in Chicago and across the country.

Act Locally
Success might go to our hair, but it doesn't go to our head - you can often catch GayCo performing at Chicago functions, fundraisers, and high-visibility events. We maintain a commitment to our beloved Chicago audience - mostly because they're packed with potential dates, and crabby ex-girlfriends.

Think Globally
These small-town kids know how to get out of town. We've performed across the country, and even at the 1996 Gay Games in Amsterdam. And, starting in 2003, GayCo has been showcasing regularly in Los Angeles and entertaining entertainment mega-deals. It's all very hush-hush.

The GayMission:
Our mission is to create intelligent and thought-provoking sketch comedy based on gay and lesbian themes that will either entertain, educate, and/or enlighten our audience.
