The Osgood File…
Steve Rashid’s friend, Chicago Tribune photographer Chuck Osgood, caught The Vic & Paul Show at The Prop Theatre in Chicago last week — and snapped these cool photos.
Here’s our musical director and keyboard whiz, Steve Rashid, at the piano playing the opening to the show.
“Oh, what a beautiful evening, Turn off your cell phones and all After two decades in limbo, Please welcome Victoria and Paul”
Paul’s traveling businessman, Ed, sweeps Vic’s barfly, Ellen, off her feet.
Victoria as the classic Greek heroine, Medea: mother, author, murderess.
Victoria as a Southern California girl sings Please Come to Starbucks.
“Another Starbucks that’s attached To a Barnes & Noble Next to an Olive Garden With all you can eat breadsticks…”
Saloonkeeper Vic offers cowboy Paul a Whiskey Tasting.
Paul and Vic as one of the dullest couples alive driving home from a company party in a sketch called “Limbo”.
Vic: That was the dullest company party I’ve ever attended.
Paul: I’m in Human Resources, honey. We’re not Cirque du Soleil.
Paul and Vic as one of the dullest couples no longer alive, lost in the fog of limbo.
Paul as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Vic as Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Vic: Please call me Sonia.
Paul: I prefer that we remain more formal.
Vic: Oh, Antonin. You are too rigid….in your views. But you will find that Sonia – you cannot refuse!
Scalia and Sotomayor dance a passionate love-hate, left-right tango.

Sweet Home Chicago!
Come on,
Baby, don’t you wanna go home
Come on,
Baby, don’t you wanna go home
Back from the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago.
The Vic & Paul Show came from California to sweet home Chicago – and it was good: a magical week of fun, friends, comedy & camaraderie.
Big thanks to Scott Vehill and Stefan Brun of The Prop Theatre for hosting us in their space – and to all of our Chicago friends (and all you out-of-towners) who made the trip to North Elston to share the fun with us.
Thanks especially to Tony Adler of The Chicago Reader whose fabulous article in the June 9th issue assured us of a successful run. (Click on the picture.)
Thanks, too, to Alex Baumgardner, who talked to me for this article in NewCity Stage. (Click on the graphic.)
Given the enthusiastic response to our limited Prop Theatre engagement, we’re planning a return to Chicago this December. This might be the year for comedy-loving Chicagoans to celebrate the holidays with The Vic & Paul Show.
Stay tuned for further details.
Victoria, Steve, and I would just like to say, “Thank you – and we love you” to everyone who showed up and laughed with us at The Prop last week.
More fun is on the way
