iO Theater
Comedy Club · Chicago, Illinois
The improv theatre Del Close and Charna Halpern founded in 1981, where the long-form improvised structure called the Harold was developed and where a remarkable share of American comedy learned to work — Colbert, Fey, Carell, Poehler, Farley and Dratch all came through it. It closed in 2020 and reopened in 2021 under new ownership, which is the current chapter rather than the end of one.
