Guest Monologists
One of the many show formats Second Nature performs is The Armando. This format - developed at ImprovOlympic - involves a guest monologist (frequently a celebrity) who uses a suggestion from the audience to inspire a truthful, personal monologue. The improvisers then use the monologue as inspiration for a series of scenes, which in turn inspire a response from the monologist.
Second Nature has performed The Armando with the following guest monologists:
- Dan Oster, MADtv
- Kate Flannery, The Office
- June Red, Los Angeles rock band
- Paul Wolff, screenwriter, Family Ties, Little House on the Prairie, Home Improvement ; executive story-editor, Remington Steele
- Tom Lennon, Reno 911!, The State
- Will Sasso, MADtv
- Lauren Weedman, former correspondent for The Daily Show
- Midori, prominent human sexuality writer, speaker, and sex educator
- Andrew Leland, managing editor of The Believer
- Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events
