"CholesteROCK: The Dark Side of the Spoon" took audiences on a musical journey through 60 years of Rock and Roll. The walls of Chicago's Stage 773 were shaking with the sounds of more than a dozen original comedy songs that explored relationships, sex, food and drinking all through the lens of the many genres of rock. Songs ranged from surf to pop, heavy metal to Buddy Holly, doo wop to reggae and more in this production that featured the same cast and musical directors as the equally pun-tastic "Love in the Time of Cholesterol."

CholesteROCK has been honored to perform at the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival 2016.

"Love in the Time of Cholesterol: Dating and Dieting in Chicago" premiered at the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival in 2015.  Hot on the heels of its successful appearance, this show brought an extended version of its blend of sketch and musical comedy to Stage 773 (Chicago, IL). The common threads that weave the show's many parts together focus on two of the city's most popular pastimes: dating and eating. Filled with moments of relatable drama and heaping helpings of mirth and music, Love in the Time of Cholesterol: Dating and Dieting in Chicago aimed to be every inch as satisfying as a big old bag of potato chips ... but without any of the guilt.

As a Members Pick on the Chicago Reader, Cholesterol was honored to be as part of the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin, TX (2015).
