Formerly known as improvolympic, the io theatre (io chicago) is the premier venue for improv in chicago, and arguably the world.
it was founded in 1981 by charna halpern and the late great improvisational teacher and director, del close.
io is the birthplace of "longform improvisation", which helped change the face of improvisational comedy as an art form.
the io theatre in chicago is considered the mecca of improvisation, and its approach to the art of improvisation and comedy in general have shaped and influenced the minds of many of today's most iconic and influential comedic entertainers.
its alumni include tina fey, amy poehler, chris farley, stephen colbert, mike myers, david koechner and tim meadows.
this is io's second european tour.
