Besides Thanksgiving,
November is a boring month...stuck between Halloween and Christmas,
Hanukah, Kwanza etc etc...So why not get into some improv competition
with The Original Improv Gladiators - Season Eight! On
the heels of the success of TOIG - Season Seven comes a fun filled
packed season of great improv teams, great improv judges and of course
great improv gladiators, all here to get your comedy juices going!
Corn Productions hosts
this improv team competition with Corn Productions Artistic Director
Robert Bouwman emceeing the festivities. In
round one, teams perform 10-15 minutes of long form improv and then are
evaluated and scored by judges from theater and improv companies all
over Chicago including iO, ARFTCo, Chemically Imbalanced Comedy and
special guest celebrity judges. Audience response will also count for a percentage of scoring. In
round two, teams will compete against the home team, The Improv
Gladiators, who will use their amazing improvisation skills to block
the teams from scoring points. Points are
accumulated throughout the 6 weeks with the two top scorers from each night going head to head in the Grande Finale.
The stakes are high and the jokes are low brow but no matter how you slice it, this cross between American Gladiators, American Idol and Who's Line is it Anyway is an exciting and entertaining night of competition, chaos and comedy.
Join us for THE ORIGINAL IMPROV GLADIATORS - SEASON EIGHT every Friday and Saturday night at 8 pm from November 6th through November 20th, with the Grande Finale at 8 pm Saturday November 21st at Cornservatory, 4210 N Lincoln.
