Description
***This is a free show, but it is highly recommended to reserve your ticket here to guarantee entry.*****

Regarded as one of Chicago's funniest and most promising improv groups of the last decade, Dumb John is proud to take the iO Stage with Birdlady in a new weekly long form improv show. Both teams apply their high energy strain of improvisation to a bizarre cultural harvest of small town Americana influence and ephemera, using a single audience suggestion to inspire a piece of unhinged long form improv that propels diesel-soaked characters through fever dream karaoke scenes and down neon aisles of roadside antique marts; exploring the depravity and brilliance found at the heart of every moment. 

Take flight with two back to back original iO ensembles, Birdlady and Dumb John! Every Wednesday night at 7:30 (FREE), watch as they migrate toward their ultimate destination: hilarious long-form improvisation! It’ll be a HOOT! They’re so funny this show should be Ill-EAGLE! People can’t stop RAVEN about this show!
