StandProv is stand-up comedy without the prep. Each week four comics take the Go Comedy! stage to do five minutes of stand up on t opics they have never seen until they are in front of a live audience.

The X-Factory
For more than a year,In the darkest corners of the Go Labs (where lighting is poor due to a lack of electrical outlets) Improv Doctors Pete Jacokes and James Quesada are producing bold, innovative new shows. Each Wednesday at 8:00pm they'll present something brand new and unique on the Go Comedy! stage.
Six-years of original comedy
In the fall of 2008 the former Ferndale Secretary of State office was transformed into Go Comedy! Improv Theater - a catalyst for hundreds of original shows, a robust improv academy, and an incubator for innovation, inspiration and integrity. Today, Go Comedy! is home for hundreds of improvisers, at least 30 improv troupes, and a weekly schedule of hilarious award-winning programming that has garnered local and national recognition.

The theater's signature show continues to be The Go Comedy! All Star Showdown which has played on Friday and Saturday nights continually for six years. Featuring members of Go Comedy! resident company, The All Star Showdown puts two teams of improvisers in an improv competition tailored to challenge their abilities, think on their feet and give audiences a roaring good time. The cast also plays for audience members who take home fabulous prizes when their team wins. It's a night of hilarious laughs and great times!
