November 20, 9:00pm: The IO Rep Presents

An All-Star cast of improvisers from the iO West and beyond performs new and old long-form pieces in the grand tradition of a theater repertory company! Every other month they will perform either an established form from the improv canon or something experimental and brand new. Don’t miss this wonderful cast exploring the possibilities of improvisation!

November 21, 8:00pm: Chicken Scratch

See what happens when Ed Lee invites a talented and diverse group of writers and actors to read completely honest monologues they’ve written about the most personal parts of their lives. The results are riveting, therapeutic, and always hilarious.

November 22, 8:00pm: Studio City Committee/Hill Jones

Studio City Committee is an all star cast that performs a long-form improvised show based off audience suggestions. The committee starts off in a neighborhood meeting where they explore the information surrounding the suggestion then expand the world of the neighborhood they have created.

Dave Hill and Matt Jones present two-person improv.  The duo recently won IO's Two Man Competition for improv.

November 24, 9:00pm: The Armando Show with hosts Frangela

The Armando Show is an hour-long improvised comedy show inspired by an audience suggestion, which the celebrity hosts interpret through a personal and truthful improvised monologue. Inspired by that monologue, a cast composed of veteran Chicago and Los Angeles alumni perform scenes that, in turn, inspire a response from Armando. This propels hilarious interchanges between Armando’s monologues and the company’s scenes.

The cast includes Dan Bakkedahl (Daily Show, 30 Rock), Betty Cahill (SNL), Mike Coleman (The Factory),Josh DuBose (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), James Grace (Super Troopers), Dave Hill (La La Land), Jason Pardo (The Brothers Solomon), Miles Stroth (Global, Inc.) and Irene White (Carpoolers).

November 25, 8:00pm: Tricia & Rebecca Get Outta Space! / The Sisters Baldwin

Tricia Traci and Rebecca Leib are proud to present: “Get Outta Space,” the first sketch show performed in space!
While trapped in the nether-regions of the universe, Tricia and Rebecca embark on a journey exploring all sorts of inter-personal (and inter-planetary) antics including WNBA fanatics, man crazy ex-convicts, meetings with famous space captains, dog owners, and Bruce Willis. Tricia and Rebecca do what they do best in space: perform sketch and have some fun!

The Sisters Baldwin is a brilliant mix of improv veterans from the stage and screen. Watch in delight as they perform their signature long-form improv piece Paging Dr. Watiki where a single suggestion morphs from an intimate therapy session behind closed doors to a series of relation-based scenes that will tickle your fancy.

November 28, 9:00pm: Wikipedia LIVE / Brontosaurs

Wikipedia is the largest online encyclopedia, offering “facts” about people, places and things. Through a series of scenes Wikipedia LIVE’s rotating cast shows you how they think Wikipedia would define the suggestion. Fully improvised…partially accurate.
