Show Details

"Topaz" is iO stalwarts Bill Boehler, Paul Brittain and Rex Graff, performing physically aggressive improvisation in denim jumpsuits. Throwing and fighting. Wrestling, jumping and clinching, fueled by latent homoeroticism that most comedians laugh off or ignore.

The rough and tumble crew takes the stage at midnight for a cultish, underground-type affair, reminiscent of the stylized, extreme physicality of New York’s incredible Burn Manhattan.
