The Dr. God Revival takes the stories of the guest Revivalist and weaves together a series of hilarious improvised scenes that rip the very fabric of space and time and leave you desperate for more. Dr. God suggests you leave your mind at home if you don’t want it blown. April 18th at 10pm IO West

The Armando Diaz Experience is a 60-minute 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. Reservations are strongly recommended. LA Times reviewer F. Kathleen Foley describes the performance by saying, ” …this free-associative repetition melds into Zen-like flights of fancy….”

This show is the reason to see live improv in Los Angeles.

HOST FOR APRIL 18th: Sarah Baker (The Good Lie, Tammy, The Campaign)

OPENING NIGHT: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL!® is exactly that: a Broadway-style musical that is made up on the spot, based on audience suggestion. So every night is the `Opening Night’ of a musical that has never been seen! Now in it’s fifteenth year, Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!® is thrilled to continue the show LAWeekly called, “almost too slick to be completely improvised.” It is, by the way—completely improvised. Led by Director Shulie Cowen, Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!®’s cast combines the Chicago-style improvisation of the iO and The Second City with the Broadway stylings of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bob Fosse, and many more. Occasionally, they even borrow the 76 trombones from The Music Man. They usually give them back. Cast film and television credits include; The Wedding Band, The Superego Podcast, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, My Secret Girlfriend, Reno 911!, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, and World Cup Comedy. “Come back again and again — you’ll laugh every time.” (LA Weekly Best of 2010)

Call 323 962-7560 to purchase tickets or purchase them online. (Free for iO students and performers)
