“From Charna Halpern: "Dear iOWEST It breaks my heart to announce that after almost 25 years, I have to close the doors to iOWest. Our last night will be Saturday, Feb 24th. iO Chicago is strong and this is still your home. Love to you all, Charna Halpern."”

While it’s unfortunate to see another LA comedy-dedicated venue/school go away, iO West still has two weeks worth of shows to check out. See our calendar for our picks or take a gander at their entire schedule here.

Our 100th Show! This Sunday at 11 at iO West!

[Facebook Event Link]

100. 10x10. 1000/10. 50x2. 1x...100. Look, you probably finished some grade in school. You get it. Point is, we've done 100 shows. Or will have during this one. And you get to see it. You get to be there for us as we cross from one abritrarily-determined set of two-digit numbers to a new arbitrarily-determined set of THREE-digit numbers which we're all inadvertently extremely excited about! And we've made sure this one's going to be REALLY special. We're bringing up Zach Huddleston as our interviewee for The Dream! He's going to purposefully have an amazingly interesting day that day (we're assuming) just so he can sit down in that chair and give us everything we need to improvise an incredible dream about it. And to add to that, The Dream itself is going to be performed not only by our partners, Red Door Comedy, but by our all-star special guests, including the likes of Shulie Cowen (Opening Night: The Improvised Musical), Chris Alvarado (Heyday), Darius De La Cruz (Wheelhouse), Bill Chott (Zer0 H0ur with Bill Chott and Jay Sukow), and more! After that, Red Door returns to the stage for their signature two-man improv, setting it ablaze before we douse the stage in water and fire retardent, bring in professional drying equipment and cleaners to make sure the stage is safe for occupation, and then take the stage ourselves and deliver that promised 100th performance of Deconstruction power! How are we going to pull all of that off in only one hour?! Poetic license, that's how! So please, join us for this special occasion. We love you all, and naturally, we do this for you. Come see what we've got as we launch into our next 100 and contemplate mortality. That's an unrelated thought, but it's going to happen, so we might as well put it out there.
