WHAT PEOPLE SAY

CHARNA HALPERN

Founder and Owner
of The iO Theater

"The CDC has found a way to set themselves apart from any other comedy troupe. They are funny, creative, and charming. It seems that their main goal is to connect with the audience and make sure everyone has a good time

– and they succeed wildly." 

BILL SCHAAF

Physical Education Teacher
Romona Elementary School

"After 10 years of having various forms of entertainment come through our doors,

this was easily the best one we've had.

BUZZ ON STAGE​

"If it's been a long week, and you badly need

to laugh, this is good medicine." 

"Y’all are HI-larious! Loved all of your numbers last night. Brilliant audience participation. Dance is so rarely funny. I’m so glad you exist!"

-Denise M.

They absolutely blew the roof off the place. Perhaps the best sketch comedy I’ve ever seen!”
