8:00pm @ The Hideout - Downstairs Stage
m.a.d. [New York]
m.a.d. performs a unique longform that they developed with Christina Gausas at the UCB Theater.
m.a.d.'s style draws from both the Chicago and New York schools of improv, incorporating strong characters and fast, hard game playing.
Every rehearsal begins with a square of chocolate. Every meeting includes a heated discussion about Jon and Kate Plus 8. They’re not afraid to punch each other in the area during a scene if necessary. That doesn’t make them unrefined, it makes them ladies. Mackenzie Condon is a performer, formerly of the Improv Olympic Chicago Harold Team Callous. Abra Tabak is a performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on the Harold Team, Bastian, and in the improvised soap opera, As the Diamond Burns. D’Arcy Erokan is a performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on the Harold Team Scootch, and the sketch team, Stone Cold Fox.

DUMMY [Chicago]Jason Shotts and Colleen Doyle are a couple. They are also the longform improv duo named Dummy. With a combined seventeen-some-odd years improv experience and more than fifteen-aught months of roommate experience, prepare for things to get funny. And personal. And super gross.
Jason Shotts has been a student/performer/teacher of improv for the last seven years. He has performed with such groups as iO’s Henrietta Pussycat, Willie Nelson Slept Here, Cougars, The Lindberg Babies 2.0, Brad Renfro and FELT. He has also performed at comedy festivals such as the Chicago Improv Festival, the Del Close Marathon, The Out of Bounds Festival, the i3 Raleigh Longform Improv Festival, the Dirty South Improv Festival, and Chicago Sketchfest with the ensembles Dummy, Sketchcore, BirdDog, OTIS and International Stinger.
Colleen Doyle grew up in Cleveland, where she wrote greeting cards and performed with The Second City. Since moving to Chicago she has had the good fortune to write and co-star in Babymakers, play in Maine with ImprovAcadia, cavort on the high seas for Second City aboard the Norwegian Dawn, and make stuff up with the ensembles Chairs and Showpony at the Chicago Improv Festival, the Dublin Fringe Festival, the DC Comedyfest and Dirty South Improv Festival. Currently she performs with Swanel at iO, as one half of Dummy, and as an understudy to The Second City National Touring Company.
