Dirty Cricket Productions, which produces the “Lady Parts” live and online sketch comedy series, has partnered with Gorilla Tango Theater’s new financing arm to release the DVD of the show’s new first season.
Gorilla Tango Capital covered the budget for DVD production for the “Lady Parts” series, and will share any profits with Dirty Cricket after recouping its costs.
“Dan Abbete from GTT and I are using ?Lady Parts’ as a test bed,” Lady Parts founder Jeph Porter says.
“I think it could be a new and very exciting thing for Chicago if GTT takes the model they’ve been successful with for live stage performances and exports it to film and video.”
In March, “Lady Parts” came in first place in an online vote to win a $10,000 prize, sponsored by Web Entertainment Guide and South by Southwest, toward the production of their online series.
The series’ first online season premieres in a 90-minute screening at Gorilla Tango Theater on Oct. 13 in advance of its online debut Monday, Oct. 18.
