A longrunning Monday night improv show that was created back in 1995 at ImprovOlympic Chicago and continues today at IO-Chicago, at the newer IO WEST in Los Angeles and occasionally at the Magnet Theater in NYC. The show was created by Adam McKay and Dave Koechner who put together the original cast under the direction of legendary director/teacher ...
The show involves a monologist, originally Armando Diaz himself and later countless others, taking suggestions from the audience and then telling true-life stories inspired by those suggestions. The cast would then improvise scenes inspired by those stories. This format is basically identical to that of ASSSSCAT, the longrunning improv show performed by The Upright Citizens Brigade and friends. All of the UCB members had originally been performers in the Armando shows before moving to New York in '96.
Although people often refer to shows similar in format to this one an "Armando", it should be noted that this show was a variation on many shows with a similar form where improvisors would do monologues and then improvise scenes based on them. It might be more accurate to refer to the general form as a monologue deconstruction.
