Regarded as one of Chicago's funniest and most promising improv groups of the last decade, Dumb John is proud to return to The iO Theater where they got their start with a new weekly long form improv show. 

Longtime members Mike Geraghty, Steve Plock, and Linda Orr apply their high energy strain of improvisation to a bizarre cultural harvest of small town Americana influence and ephemera.

Dumb John uses a single audience suggestion to inspire a piece of unhinged long form improv that propels diesel-soaked characters through fever dream karaoke scenes and down neon aisles of roadside antique marts; exploring the depravity and brilliance found at the heart of every moment. Wipe off your boots, grab an ice cold cruiser and join them for an evening of more fun than the law allows.
