This location is the current home home of iO West (previously known as the Improv Olympic West). Affiliated with the iO Chicago (which was previously known as Improv Olympic Theatre), the iO method is to treat improvisation as its own art form, rather than the as a form of sketch comedy.
iO West has three theaters, daily performances, and classes for those interested in taking up improv.
Chris Farley's Hollywood star (#2,289) is outside this theater- a fitting tribute since he honed his skills at the Improv Olympic Theatre in Chicago.
