The Reckoning & Friends

About this show

The Reckoning began in 2002 at the iO Theater in Wrigleyville weekly at both iO Chicago and iO West in Los Angeles throughout the 2000s and into the late 2010s. Acclaimed as a "powerhouse of improvised brilliance" (Onion AV Club) and "remarkably consistent at giving audiences something to laugh at and students something to study" (Chicago Reader), The Reckoning is known for their committed ensemble work and deep love of experimentation, both of which became a part of their signature style for two decades, both in Chicago and Los Angeles. "Every once in awhile, a team comes along that elevates the form above the everyday… such is the case with the Reckoning." (Time Out Chicago) Reckoning & Friends features members of The Reckoning and a rotating cast of veteran Chicago improvisers, actors, and special guests from Chicago and beyond.
