Join us for a very special iO Fest Armando with special guest monologist - TJ Jagodowski! TJ has been a Chicago improviser for 30 years, the last twenty-something of which have been spent improvising with David Pasquesi. TJ spent a while in the passenger seat of a mini-van for Sonic Drive-In and has done other small parts in TV and film including Work In Progress, Shrink, Stranger than Fiction and the Ice Harvest. TJ is from Holyoke, Massachusetts and loves the Red Sox, metal detecting, and cookies.

This one-off, Saturday night performance is 5pm on July 25th. Catch us regularly on Monday nights at 7pm.

It's the best comedy show in the city. Created in 1995 by iO alum Armando Diaz, Armando is a historic improvisational form where actors improvise a series of interconnected scenes based on the true stories told from a new guest monologist. Featuring new players, surprise celebrity guests, and more each week, come watch the longest running comedy show in Chicago at its home: iO Theater! Still don't know what an Armando is?
