Variety is the Spice of Life:

I think this is why variety shows have time and time again proven successful. It's the unpredictability that comes with variety that I'm a fan of; it's sort of like when you get a bag of trail mix and every time something different pops out. On a similar note...

Over the last week loads of Chicago comedians and improv gods reached for the stars, auditioning for Lorne Michaels of SNL fame, at the iO Theatre. Fortunately for all of us new comedy sponges, we were invited to watch the various performers both Thursday and Friday evening.

And part of the appeal some performers had over others was the vibrant, fresh takes on what makes people laugh. This show which has rotated cast members and styles for over 30 years, clearly is more than just an indication that, yes, variety is the spice of life.
