The Armand-Off
SPECIAL GUEST MONOLOGIST - JEFF DELEON
Jeff De Leon is an improviser from the Quad Cities, IA/IL. He trained at The Second City, iO Chicago, and The Annoyance and currently travels the world performing with his long form troupe, Wisenheimer; is an ensemble member of the sketch comedy group, Comedy Thingy; and is in his 29th year with ComedySportz.
The Armando is a popular long-form improvisation invented by Armando Diaz. Not that one. This one. In it, a performer takes a suggestion from the audience and delivers a true monologue based on the suggestion. Then, the remaining performers improvise a scene or scenes based on the monologue. Often, the monologist will be inspired by the scenes and interject with another monologue.
We're taking this formula and adding our own spin. After the original monologue, any of our performers can jump in to deliver their own monologue.
