Each Monday night the cast features some of the very best improvisers in Chicago alongside special guest celebrity monologuists.
Founded by Adam McKay (SNL, Anchorman, Talladega Nights), Dave Koechner (Anchorman, Thank You For Smoking, SNL) and Armando Diaz (iO alum & founder of The Magnet Theater in New York), The Armando Diaz Experience is iO’s longest running show and a landmark of comedy in Chicago.
