Susan Messing - Best Improviser (http://www.chicagoreader.com/bestofchicago08/comedy/improviser/)

TJ and Dave - Best Improv Group (http://www.chicagoreader.com/bestofchicago08/comedy/improvgroup/)

PS - what's with the category "Best place to see improv/sketch that's not iO or Second City?" Why not have best place place to see improv/sketch with Second City mainstage, SC skybox, etc, iO, playground, ComedySportz and Annoyance. And maybe have a separate category for barprov. Doesn't seem fair.

Also, congrats to Hey You Millionaires for winning reader's choice sketch group!

I think the point of excluding IO and Second City is that they are so incredibly financially successful, and it's such a huge pond, that they don't really need the nod. But then, you know, Annoyance and ComedySportz are institutions in their own right. I think it was simply good intentions that may not have been worth the effort.
