About This Event
Longform improvisation was created at iO Theater in Chicago in the late nineties by the legendary Del Close. Over the last few decades, most of the country’s biggest names in comedy TV & film got their start doing long-form improv at iO Theater, The Second City, The Groundlings in Los Angeles, and the UCB Theatre in NY, where John performed and coached. In long-form improv the group only takes one suggestion, then skillfully creates a half-hour fully improvised comedy set, including characters and worlds dreamt up on the spot, all ending with a hilarious climax.
