DIF - Friday 8 PM (Go Comedy)

Forest Preserve (Chicago)

Forest Preserve is an improv ensemble compiled of semi-veteran players who met while taking classes at iO, Chicago. After initially being drawn to each other solely for enjoying each others company, our supportive friendship has blossomed into a mystical
exploration in the craft of improv. Our improv shows take on may forms, but fun is the most prevalent. Is "fun" a form? It would seem so for us. We seamlessly blend grounded and flighty characters into our worlds of controlled chaos.

Darcy & Bingley (Toronto)

Rob and Chris have been performing together as a duo for 3 years in Toronto. They have performed at a number of different shows in the city, including The Hangout, True Stories Made Up Plays, and Naked Fridays, as well as the Detroit Improv Festival. They have a unique, adventurous and physical style that often harkens back to a simpler time, feeling like an Edwardian or Victorian tale set in modern day. They follow one idea, concept, or narrative and watch it evolve over the course of the set. But mainly, Darcy & Bingley's shows are generally fun!

DeFrancisCo (Chicago)

Tara DeFrancisco, a veteran performer (SC, iO, ComedySportz, ABC Family), pulls one lucky audience member out of the audience to become her COstar in this production.
