About
True stories from a guest monologist launch an evening of interconnected improv scenes.
Created in 1995, the Armando remains one of Chicago improv's defining long-form structures: a guest tells true stories and performers spin them into connected scenes. At $17 with a 7 p.m. curtain, it is an affordable way to see a locally rooted comedy format on its regular Monday night.
