A Plan SO Crazy... It just might work.

When there were tickets I had no money, now that I have some money,
there are no tickets. So what's a girl to do?

From the Chicago Reader:

Improv is a spectator sport. Its excitement lies in seeing whether
skilled players fumble or score as they toss comic ideas back and forth
in intricate patterns. The unique energy generated by loopy,
free-associative long-form improvisations is palpable in close quarters,
with the performers just a few feet from the audience. That should be
apparent Friday when celebrity alumni of ImprovOlympic (recently renamed
I.O. in deference to the U.S. Olympic Committee’s proprietary
pressure) drop in to jam at the company’s intimate Wrigleyville home
as a warm-up for Saturday’s sold-out ImprovOlympic’s 25th
Anniversary Reunion Show at the Chicago Theatre. Friday at 9, Andy Dick
and Susan Messing team up in Messing With A. Dick, a set of two-person
scenes based on audience suggestions. At 10:30 there’s a special
edition of The Armando Diaz Theatrical Experience and Hootenanny in
which Dick, Rachel Dratch, Horatio Sanz, Andy Richter, Neil Flynn, and
the Upright Citizens Brigade create spontaneous scenes based on a single
monologue by one of the cast. At midnight, Dan Bakkedahl (soon leaving
town to join The Daily Show) and Miles Stroth team up for Zumpf! All
these shows elevate process over product, demonstrating that
unpredictability is the essence of the fun. Fri 8/26, I.O., 3541 N.
