- Storyline
- The Armando is Christina Jacquelyn Calph's adaptation of the long-running improv shows The Armando Diaz Experience, Theatrical Movement, and Hootenanny, originally created in 1995 by Armando Diaz, Adam McKay, and Dave Koechner under the guidance of Del Close at The Improv Olympics Theater in Chicago. Each performance features a celebrity guest sharing personal stories-or performing as a character they invent-which inspire a series of improvised scenes performed by a rotating all-star cast of comedians. Under Calph's guidance, the show blends storytelling with spontaneous improvisation, resulting in unpredictable, memorable, and highly entertaining comedic moments.
