Episode 0

We're super excited to announce a new video series. Drunk Monkeys is hosted by Jen Ellison and Four Squirrels' own Erica Reid. They drink things that you're supposed to drink with other things but they drink them alone. I mean, with each other, but without those other things. You know what, I'll let them explain:

Jen Ellison and Erica Reid like to drink weird things and tell you about them. What started with a simple fascination with Disaronno has turned into a fun and educational web series (we are saving lives!!!). Jen has been performing, writing, and directing in Chicago for over 17 years. She is the brains behind the popular Tumblr Drunk J. Crew. Erica Reid has been performing, choreographing, dancing, and directing in Chicago for over 15 years. Their husbands Dave (Jen) and Fuzzy (Erica) are the oft heard but never seen others in the room. Cheers!
