Godshow

Godshow is an autobiographical stage play written and starring Tim O'Malley.

Godshow is the story of actor Tim O'Malley's life coming up the ranks at Chicago's The Second City Theater in the 90's. The show covers O'Malley's battle with bitterness, alcoholism, and cocaine addiction to his bottom on the south side, then back to his life through recovery, stage, feature films and television success.

Godshow sold out for its four runs at The Second City Chicago. It was featured on WTTW's Artbeat Chicago, was the Chicago Reader's Critic's Pick twice, and was number 2 in The Chicago Suntimes "Top Ten Cool Things to Do" in 2004
