Yas, And! Comedy debuted their unique theatrical stylings with their pilot show, Yas, And! in June, 2025 at the Annoyance Theatre. The collective was started by couple Thomas Beheler (Artistic Director) and Christopher Willumsen (Executive Director), who met doing theater and collectively bring decades of experience in a myriad of styles to these productions. The mission and aim of Yas, And! Comedy is to elevate queer voices in the Chicago Theatre & Arts community.

Poison is a darkly comedic, interactive theater experience where desire, deception, and consequence unfold in real time. At its core, the show wrestles with fate versus free will—inviting the audience to make choices that shape the story while quietly questioning whether those choices were ever truly theirs to begin with. As relationships unravel and motives come into question, each decision steers the narrative down a new, often dangerous path. With a “choose your own adventure” structure driving the action, no two performances are the same—yet each one circles the same unsettling idea: are we in control, or just playing out something inevitable?
