    Come Join The Fun

    Our #1 rule is HAVE FUN but never at another’s expense, so our mission is to spread joy and laughter one show, one class at a time. However, simply playing improv comedy games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence, listening, focus and more. We use these same games to train team building, leadership, sales, customer service and professional development programming for teachers, as well as k12 educational outreach.

    Private Events

    We daily host corporate teams and student groups from around the world for private workshops at our Times Square NYC theater. We also tour schools, offices and venues DC to Boston, Montauk to Pittsburgh and beyond. Contact us today for a free consultation, or go ahead and send us dates and rates requests. NYC DOE VENDORS

  • Madcapped Mysteries: The Most Original Murder Mystery Experience, EVER

    Madcapped Mysteries: The Most Original Murder Mystery Experience, EVER

    MADCAPPED MYSTERIES is the most original murder mystery show of all time because it’s created on the spot by you and your guests. Our professional Detective and Improv comedian leads the storytelling, and by the end of the night everyone is a character – witness, suspect, friend and family and the crime and it’s solution are completely original. It’s like being in a crime drama movie.

    ACT I: The Crime Scene

    The show starts like a mad libs book, or the popular improv game, call ’em’s. Our professional comedian, and decorated murder mystery detective, leads the crowd to establish a crime. As in an improv show, we create the WHO WHERE WHAT of a crime scene. We might even meet the coroner and other members of the investigative team (audience guests).

    ACT II: Who’s Who

    Over the the course of the next 20-30 minutes, many, if not all of your guests become characters in the story, one by one created organically thru the interactions of the MC and guests. We meet various public servants, from the Mayor to the coroner to the District Attorney as well as the Victim’s friends, family and coworkers.

    ACT III: Interogations

    Eventually a handful of characters are named as suspects, while everyone else becomes a deputy, teaming up to interogate these dubious characters and solve the crime.

    ACT IV: Solve The Case

    Everyone takes a moment to fill oit our answer sheets, setting down to paper who they think did the dastardly deed, how, where and why. For larger events, this occurs in teams. For smaller events usually it’s everyone for them selves, or perhaps couples pair off, etc.

    ACT V: Final Reveals

    Every murder show ends with the final reveals. But Madcapped Mysteries is by far the most fun. The detective will MELODRAMATICALLY read many, or all of the solutions. We end the show awarding a few prizes to the most beloved solutions and even a best actor award.

  • First Person Shooter: Paranormal POV Short Story

    First Person Shooter: Paranormal POV Short Story

    I love my story First Person Shooter…

    Basically, the entire story is in first person of a BA / CIA type hit woman on assignment. Bored, passing the time, her inner monologue at one point is imagining her life as a reality show.

    How boring her job is 99% of the time, staking out, setting up shots. And then it’s a bit intense for a few minutes. At one point, the inner monologue is a sports channel play by play asking What will she do next?, with the color commentary saying, “We’ll you know Bob…. ”

    Her point is that, when she does her job correctly it IS boring. Not like the movies, saying she is the opposite of SALT, BOMBSHELL, HOMELAND, etc

    But then things take a wild turn….

    Dinner Party Events – Corporate, Friends & Family Gatherings

    I have over 30 years of experience as a professional actor. I also have 23 years of experience producing events, live from Times Square NYC and touring nationwide. Let my teams and I make your next event memorable! EMAIL us now to start creating lasting memories at your next event! We can turn any venue into an immersive dinner theater or comedy club. We also offer amazing deals for non-profits and venues looking for a team for their public events.

    Interactive Immersive Shows

    Our two signature shows include interactive musical improv comedy improvised and Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. We daily host corporate teams and student groups. Our tours include clubs, theaters, schools, community centers, offices, and private homes.

    • Improv by EIGHT: Our Signature improv shows bring musical comedy, immersive games and great comedic theater to any event. We famously promote PG13 comedy. We stay smart and relevant. We flirt on the edge while remaining friendly for the office, college campus, church/temple, and even all ages family events. Our main stage show features five actors. It lasts about 75 minutes. We also have smaller shows for more intimate settings. We have performed over 8000 shows in 20+ years, mostly due to rebookings year after year.
    • Murder Mystery Dinner Theater shows feature four or more professional character actors mingling with your guests. We stage a death, and then our detective deputizes the crowd to help solve the crime. 1920s Speakeasy and Organized Crime / Death of a Mob Boss are the most popular. We also have numerous themes, and regularly develop new shows around client requests.

    HIGH IMPACT LOVE EXPERIENCES for smaller venues, crowds and/or budgets!

    Our smaller shows and immersive experiences are more popular than ever. The price points are incredibly enticing, but we don’t skip on impact. We only send one of our top event MCs to lead activities. This gets more of your guests on their feet and engaged in activities. These events are idea community building activities, from corporate team building to family reunions. Also, these shows are very popular at libraries, 55+ communities, and private family homes. Every show/experience below is less than $1000.

    • CLUE PARTIES Want to get your guests out of their seats and mingling. Our original CLUE PARTY scripts transform all or many of them, depending on event size, into characters. Our detective starts and ends the show. However, for the most part, your guests are engaged in what we call SPEED DATING FOR SUSPECTS. Often, they play both suspect and detective. Guests must interrogate each other to collect character stories and clues which lead to ONE definitive perp. Our detective arrives with scripts (disguised as invitations for each character), answer sheets, pens and prizes.
    • IMPROV COMEDY WORKSHOPS Improv comedy is a the community/team builders secret weapon. Many are terrified at the idea of improvisation. However, within five minutes our skilled teaching artists move everyone past the deepest apprehensions and we just have fun. Truly, the Improv workshop is as good as it gets in regards to corporate team building. However, these sessions have been immensely popular at family gatherings, from holidays to birthday parties for kids, teens and adults.
    • THE YES AND… EXPERIENCE My 1-man improv comedy show is an improv comedy workshop in disguised. For 60-75 minutes I run a show. However, your guests are the talent. I MC and of course pop into scenes, but the audience volunteers for this show become the players. The results are pure magic. Admittedly, this is my least popular show. It’s difficult to imagine for many. But EVERY show has been a hit.
    • MADCAPPED MYSTERIES is the most original murder mystery show EVER! Madcapped is also my #1 selling show for the past 18 months. For one, getting a murder mystery experience this good for $600 or less is almost unthinkable. We have amazing rates for libraries and other non-profits. Two, this show leads to more re-booking than anything I have ever produced, other than EIGHT IMPROV. After EVERY show 2-3 or more approach me for my card. “I HAVE TO HAVE THIS AT MY NEXT EVENT!”

    FAMILY GAME NIGHT / TRIVIA

    For years we have been filling client requests but never promoted these activities. We have original trivia nights, family feud, pictionary, minute to win it and other game nights activities. We also have new FREE online resources for you and our team leads to use.

    Events for Kids, Teens & Families

    If you don’t know about Improv 4 Kids, or our other family friendly programming, your community is missing out! We have kid friend versions of ALL OF THE ABOVE. In fact, many of our newest teammates are former students of our programs.
