WHAT'S AN ARMANDO?
Armando is a unique long form improv format originated in Chicago, where a guest monologist tells a short story, and a group of improvisers perform all-new scenes inspired by that monologue. In this show, our guest monologists are stand-up comedians performing their best bits!
Watch performances by recent Bad Dog Stand Up Comedy alumni. Then, our Sweet Sweet Armando friends will improvise hilarious scenes inspired by the stand up you just watched!
