7-10 Split[Los Angeles]
In a high school journalism class, in a decade known as the 1990s, two skinny pale kids named Jeffrey Amos and Jordan T. Maxwell first met and unknowingly started a personal and creative relationship that has spanned two states, four troupes and over ten years of theatre, improv and sketch comedy. From the experimental longform improv of the Well Hung Jury and Great Mundane to the warped sketch comedy of the Sicks, the two have a deep love of strong storytelling, esoteric characters and physical comedy that has filtered into all of their work. Now the two long time friends have joined forces, unfettered by others, to explore and experiment realms of improv yet untold. They're not as skinny anymore, but they're still just as pale. Neither considers this a fair trade off.

Omega 2[Chicago]
Bill Arnett and Danny Mora have been performing together for over 15 years, going back to their days at the University of Florida. During that time they performed in Austin in the first three Big Stinkin' Improv Festivals. After college they moved to Chicago where they studied under Del Close, Charna Halpern, Mick Napier and Noah Gregoropoulos, later becoming founding members of legendary iO harold team People of Earth. Nowadays you can catch them performing with iO's alumni classic The Armando Show and theater favorite, 3033. If you can't make it out to Chicago, you can catch their antics on YouTube with sketch veterans Maximum Party Zone.
These guys are legends, y'all. This show is not to be missed.
