About iO Theater

Since 1981, The iO Theater has been the foundational institution dedicated to the development of long-form improvisational theater; we’ve helped launch the careers of countless comedians and actors like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mike Meyers, and Jason Sudeikis (just to name a few).

Take advantage of our state-of-the-art theaters and sound systems, our multiple classrooms and breakout spaces, and our in-house kitchen and bar to make an easy full day of fun. We’ll take care of everything – a custom team-building workshop, dinner, and evening of laughter from the best improvisers in Chicago, you just bring your team.

Now, iO's creative spaces can become a background for your events, big or small!
