from Improvised Golden Age Radio · host IGAR
The cast of iO's Blueprint (see below) takes on the form of IGAR having never seen or heard the show before. We set up the show in about six minutes (a new record) between teams while explaining the form to the cast who then had to immediately perform it. Jordan and Ashley from the IGAR cast joined The Blueprint cast. Host - James DuganAvery Ford - Willie The restauranter, Detective Daniels Molly Jones - Singer, Mayors daughter Allen Lucas - Earl the frycook (who I don’t think speaks?), Rex Janelle Soulliere - Mrs. BrownRyan Bowman - Garbo the mayors son, Jordan Reichardt - Detective JohnsonAshley Whitehurst - Genevieve Thanks to everyone for jumping into the deep end with us! Below is the AI summary of the show FOR LAUGHS:A mayor’s kid goes missing, the whole town fixates on a big fight, and somehow the logical next step is “Jake and Logan Paul should be my new dads.” That’s the kind of delightful derailment you get when we do a fully improvised comedy show in the full style of classic Golden Age radio, recorded live at the iO Theater in Chicago with a Foley table, narrator energy, and zero script.We bounce through a stormy Topeka afternoon where a diner bell threatens to start a riot, then cut to a group of high schoolers rehearsing Newsies with all the gumption, longing, and petty sibling violence that implies. Meanwhile, two detectives sit in a smoke-choked bar and get so wrapped up in their intense “brother” bond that they forget they’re supposed to be solving the mayor’s missing child case. It’s fast, silly, and weirdly cohesive in the way only good narrative improv can be.After a run of fake sponsor ads, the runaway plot finally snaps into place when Garbo shows up, considers what he’s really running from, and decides reinvention is only a boxing ring away. The finale turns the Jake and Logan showdown into a surprisingly emotional sibling argument, complete with catchphrases and metaphor, before we step out of the story to talk craft: performing on microphones, the pressure of staying planted, and why the “wrong” Foley sound can be the best joke of the night.If you love improvised radio theater, live comedy podcasts, old-time radio parody, Foley sound effects, and Chicago improv, hit play.
