ABOUT THE SHOW

The award-winning EXTRA-STRENGTH is an extraordinary experience for any fan of improvised comedy. This daring and energetic ensemble of veteran players performs “3 Mad Rituals” - a Harold, Deconstruction and Slacker, back-to-back-to-back and non-stop over the course of an hour. Each piece is inspired by different audience suggestions but blend together to create a single, fast-paced and hilarious one-of-a-kind show.


Originally conceived and directed by the godfather of modern improvisational comedy Del Close and performed by the legendary THE FAMILY at iO Chicago, “3 Mad Rituals” made its acclaimed Los Angeles debut in 2008 with EXTRA-STRENGTH at iO West. You don’t want to miss it.


Word to the wise: you may get wet on this ride (because the cast is usually covered in sweat by the end).


EXTRA-STRENGTH stars Tommy Bechtold, John Conroy, Brian O’Connell, & Alexis Simpson. The show can be seen the last Monday of every month on the Main Stage of the iO West Theatre in Hollywood, CA.
