    20+ Years of Professional Comedy, Times Square NYC

    The cast(s) of EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH has been delivering bring the laughs since 2002, live from Times Square NYC and touring nationwide. Every show features interactive skits and songs. Numerous guests are invited on stage while the entire audience is engaged in inspiring the artists with your favorite movies, books, TV shows, songs, etc. So the show is always topical, current and customized to you, today’s audience.

    This is why are shows are so popular at private events – corporate parties, college campus activities, birthday parties for friends and family and even k12 schools and younger family audiences.

    Now that Santa is resting, I’m back in Improv Comedy & Murder Mystery mode and I am beyond stoked for 2026. In addition to our weekly Times Square shows and classes we are branching out our public touring schedule akin to prepandemic times.

  • 1920s Roaring 20s Jazz, Speakeasy, Organized Crime & Murder Mystery

    1920s Roaring 20s Jazz, Speakeasy, Organized Crime & Murder Mystery

    I love doing 1920s Murder Mystery shows.

    Early on I loved old MGM musicals about the 1920s, vaudeville and burlesque by Bob Hope, Gene Kelly and others. As a teen I played trumpet and piano in Jazz bands, including dixieland ensembles with my father (a) trombone player. Later in college, as I switched to theater, mostly Broadway & Opera, I performed in many “jazzy” shows, learning how to Tap Dance, swing and sing.

    In my 20s, I fell in love with the Godfather 2 and the history of Irish and Italian New York “families”. Part Sheehan & Murphy, I am a descendant from Irish Americans on both sides of the family. As an opera singer, I fell in love with great Italian food. Since 2012 I have been playing Santa Claus on Arthur Ave, the REAL Little Italy of New York.

    Combine all that, and 20+ years in Improv Comedy, completely immersing myself in a speakeasy or similar show just seems right. Perhaps the most natural next step in my career.

    These days I run 2-3 Murder Mysteries every week, from Clue Parties to full blown dinner theater style shows. I’m on the road 2-10 hours a day. I’m eating a lot of great event food.

    It’s not for everyone, but I love it. And like my improv comedy shows, any given night I get to play, using my talents as a singer, actor, dancer and comic. Sometimes I even get to play a little piano, or sing an Italian song with my uke.

    If you’re looking for something different, our shows are incredibly unique. Especially my Madcapped Mysteries and original Clue Parties that get your guests playing zany characters.

    Just like my improv shows and workshops, my mission is to spread joy and laughter, while building communities. In every show, I get a moment to be a fly on the wall, watching the fruits of our labors, as folks deliberate final solutions to the mysteries. Watching folks smile, rise to the challenges, collaborating with each other…. it’s what keeps me going at 2am driving home from some remote town upstate, Boston, DC, Pennsylvania or similar long-distance destination. The drives there are always gorgeous and the rides home are always long. But the 2-3 hours we get to entertain… priceless!

    We bring interactive, immersive entertainment to venues, homes and offices for any occasion. We have shows for any budget, group size and / or venue. Let our detectives lead your team / family of suspects or engage our entire team of zany characters. Let us turn your restaurant into a murder mystery dinner theater. We are ready to serve up the crime drama.
