Real Talk with Rocco Meo: Purpose

Li Angarola is an average sized comic from the deep heart of Texas. Li is a jack of some trades, and a versatile artist with experience directing, stage managing, writing, and performing. Li can be found performing stand-up around Chicago (iO, The Annoyance, Zanies, Playground). Li is also a founding member of Dog Eats God (@dog_eats_god), a legendary improv group who has performed all across Chicago at venues like the iO, The Annoyance, and Second City, as well as festivals like The Last Word Festival and Mud City. When Li is not performing, they are probably making slime. They have been making slime for 10+ years, and will continue to make it for 10+ years more. If there was a license for slime, Li would have it.

A jittery flesh-covered comedian, writer, and performance artist based in Chicago who creates absurd, surreal, and empathetic works exploring the tension between reality and fantasy. His pieces challenge fitting in, connection, embarrassment, and the blurred line between performance and sincerity, using gross body humor, vaudevillian physicality, and anxious personas to humanize absurdity, confronting audiences with discomfort and kindness.
