Starting August 3, 2013, Improv Comedy Troupe, EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH will be appearing weekly every Saturday at 3pm and 8pm at the Broadway Comedy Club (318 Wet 53rd, New York, NY 10019). Tickets for the interactive shows range $25-50 (Call Ovation Tix 866-811-4111). VIP tickets include beverage(s) and the best seats in the house. General admission requires 1-2 drink minimum and is seated on a first come / first serve basis.

No two shows are ever the same. Every show, based on audience suggestions and participation, is created on the spot, and it's full of original skits and songs that parody life and our top pop culture scandals and news stories. Saturday at 3pm (AKA Improv 4 Kids, Rated PG) is popular with families and recommended for kids 5 and up. Saturday at 8pm (Rated PG-13) is the weekly main event and popular with fans of the troupe's Off-Broadway run (at Midtown Theater and the Laugh Factory 2006-2010).

Hosted by Walt Frasier (Letterman, MTV, Blue Bloods, Commercials) the show regularly features stage and screen professionals including Laurice Fattal (Will & Grace), Amelia Fowler (Chris Rock, Commercials), Paul Degrocco (b103, LI Ducks), Rebeca Diaz (Nat'l Tours), John Rhea (Comedy Central, Commercials), Evan Schultz (Off Broadway), PatRick Reidy (Collegehumor, Commercials), Andrew Scannell (CTWE Professional Wrestling), Robert Savage, Andrew Del Vecchio (NBC's Deception, Commercials), Brian Simmons, Nathan Armstorng (National Theater Credits), Liz Lord, Brandon Ford and Noel Olivencia (MTV).

In addition to performances added for the summer, holidays and private/corporate events, the troupe has two monthly series.

Mondays at 8pm (R-RATED 8/5, 9/9, 10/14, 11/11, 12/23) the troupe present ABSENT MINDED COMEDY. The two hour showcase includes original and experimental style sketch, stand-up and improv comedy. Many of these sketches eventually end up on the troupe's online sketch comedy series.

Fridays at 10 (R-RATED 8/30, 9/27, 11/1, 11/29, 12/27) is the Rated R Version of EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH, LMAO Uncensored. Popular with college groups and bachelorette parties, this show is for the club comedy fans seeking edgier material and style.

Busy on the road, EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH tours nationwide colleges, clubs, theaters, private/corporate events and even K-12 outreach (show & workshops for schools, camps, and non-profits). Later this Fall, the show is making their second mid-west tour with shows in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Weekly Comedy classes for Kids, Teens and Adults return in September. Get more information on schedules and tickets at www.8improv.com
