Cesar can currently be seeing playing at the iO Theater in Chicago, most notably with the shows, ‘The Armando Diaz Experience & Hootenanny’, “Felt”, and his improv team, “Ringo Starr“.
‘The Armando Diaz Experience’ is long-form improvisation in which a monologist tells personal stories that provides the inspiration for the resulting scenes. The cast is a group of iO’s most accomplished performers and alumni, making this show a Monday-night smash for years! “The Armando Diaz Experience” is frequently joined by guests from MADtv, Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Second City and more!
Founded by Adam McKay (SNL, Anchorman, Talladega Nights), Dave Koechner (Anchorman, The Office, SNL) and Armando Diaz (iO alumnus & founder of The Magnet Theater in New York), The Armando Diaz Experience is iO’s longest running show and landmark of comedy in Chicago.
Felt adds a touch of fun to the traditional improv show mainly because it’s cast is not human. The cast of Felt is made up of 9 unique puppets that do their best to perform some of the most well-known forms created or inspired by the iO Theater over the years.
