A Pair Of Chicagoans Play Married In The Webseries Young Couple

• Nic (Brianna Baker) and Chris (Brandon Ogborn) are the titular young couple.

The fledgling webseries Young Couple succeeds because of the chemistry between its stars, Chicago improv vets Brandon Ogborn and Brianna Baker. Ogborn and Baker previously collaborated on TomKat Project, a theatrical riff on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s marital bliss—or whatever the hell it was/wasn’t—which Ogborn wrote and in which Baker played a dozen characters. In Young Couple, though, they shuck voyeuristic absurdity for intimate sincerity and play a young Chicago husband and wife. The marriage is the second for both characters, and they’re trying to understand the scope and limits of their relationship.
