I love that the shows are completely made up based on one word from the audience. No games and nonsense with a director telling you who and what you are to determine your scene work. At IO West, it is what it is! REAL improv.

iO truly has terrific talent and shows, but it is also a supportive community of friends...a great place to hang out at or work.

I saw Beer Shark Mice on October 6 - my god! Talk about a PACKED HOUSE! The show was so quick and so funny, my head was spinning! I've never laughed so had or so much in my life! I'll definitely be back there this Saturday to see these guys again (and every Saturday night thereafter!) After seeing their talent live on stage, it's little wonder why these guys are WORKING actors.

I've seen a number of shows over there and am always thoroughly impressed! Seems to me like the iO performers are better actors...they really seem to develop great relationships on stage. It's not just a bunch of jokes. They really earn the laughs they get and they don't treat the audience like idiots.
