Grab something you can use as a weapon! Krampus walks tonight on Krampusnacht

According to folklore, tonight is the night Krampus shows up in towns to punish all the naughty children.

Known as Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, the evening of December 5 is when Santa Claus' dark companion travels the world bringing switches and coal to those on his list, or — if they've been particularly bad — he captures them in a sack strapped on his back to feast upon later.

Keep Krampus off your back (or rather stay off HIS back), by joining us at Underground Wonder Bar where the Murray family is set to face this Germanic Christmas demon.

Only four performances remain! Get your tickets now for our December run, which begins tonight at 7:30 p.m.

And thanks to everyone who joined us at Martyrs' Krampus Fest last weekend. Check out our photos from the event.

If you missed us at Martyrs, you can still catch us tomorrow night at 5 p.m. as part of the League of Chicago Theatres' Theatre Tag at the 21st Annual Christkindlmarket Chicago. The Christkindlmarket is held at Daley Plaza in the Loop.
