    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.

  • NEW BOOK: Quit Your Day Job: Executive Home Manager

    NEW BOOK: Quit Your Day Job: Executive Home Manager

    My wife and I started an entertainment company in 2002. We were wannabe actors, struggling waiters, barely living paycheck to paycheck. By 2005 we QUIT OUR DAY JOB thanks to selling out 4-6 shows a week in Times Square NYC and more and more working in schools, corporate events and even private family homes. Im 2014 we bought a house.

    Since then the number of aspiring actors performing for FREE has grown ten fold at schools posing as theaters and comedy clubs. This is why I wrote my first book. QUIT YOUR DAY JOB: HOW TO BE A FULL TIME WORKING ACTOR.

    All of Walter’s books are available free via Kindle Unlimited and inexpensive via Amazon Kindle. Some also have paperback, hard cover and or audible editions. New eBook now available: Improvisation for Project Managers. Also blogger, original murder mystery shows, sketch comedy and more!

    Every day I see incredibly talented actors come to the city, only to quit and go home within the first year, or become full time food service employees for life.

    I drive around, going from gig to gig, actually fearing for the future of my nieces, nephews and students. I have had a version of this and other books in my head for months.

    Two months ago, I had a solo murder mystery gig, one of my clue parties, cancel, because the client lost his very high paying job and feared spending a small fortune on his 40th birthday party in the face of uncertainly. With in a day, two gigs came in to replace the same time slot, creating work for 8 actors.

    Meanwhile, while playing Santa the other day, I met a kid… TWELVE YEARS OLD… offering to jack up my sleigh with nitro, turbo, hot rod detailing etc. I thought, funny, right…. His dad stepped up, with a HUGE GRIN, saying, Santa, he’s serious. He just rebuilt an entire car all by himself. In short order I could tell this was not some father/son weekend project. This kid had a business. At 12, 4 years before getting a license to drive, he can make you a car, or at least fix the one you have. Santa (me) joked, “This kid will never work at a Starbucks!” I was only half joking. Actually, inside I was thinking, I need to publish this book!!!

    “Quit Your Day Job: Executive Home Manager” is now available free on KINDLE UNLIMITED, or for purchase via Kindle eBook, AudioBook and paperback via Amazon.

    Why can’t that be you?

    That 12yo kid will never have a day job. He will never have a boss. He will have clients. He will have employees, not employers. He might have partners.

    I feel horrible for my would be client losing his job, but because of my diversified entertainment business options I can weather just about any storm. Even during pandemic we found ways to generate income, doubling down on what works at the time, constantly pivoting, staying agile, even as we grow.

    While everyone else is falling behind, blaming the world, the school system, AI, capitalism, nepo babies, etc etc etc, I hope YOU will realize YOU HAVE OPTIONS. YOU HAVE CHOICES!!!

    While the rest of the world makes excuses, go create opportunities for yourself. I have an entire series of books about to drop, each with a path to creating your own business.

    America is richer than ever, but despite all the crying about the failure of TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS, very few are doing anything to solve the problem. The wage gap between CEO and employee grows. The white collar work force shrinks. The era of having one job for 20-40 years before retirement is over for more and more every year.

    No one is coming to our rescue. It is up to us to create opportunities. It’s a lot of work, but it’s easier than you think.

    The sooner you start a side hustle, the sooner it can become your full time gig and you finally get to FIRE YOUR BOSS.

    Why wait till your 18?

    While millions of teens get jobs at the mall, fast food, or other minimum wage jobs, two hours of your side hustle can create more income than 20 hours at Starbucks.

    While the old models crumble, brick and mortar fails miserably, high paying jobs become more and more scarce, the time is better than ever touring take a chance on YOURSELF!
