Friday nights will rock at Go Comedy! in February as the hit improvised rock opera Rock-o-Matic takes over the 8pm Friday night show. With just a few suggestions, the Rock-o-Matic cast and band create a fully improvised 50-60 minute rock opera. Rock-o-Matic will feature a rotating cast including Ferndale residents Matt Naas, Pj Jacokes, Suzie Jacokes, Bryan Lark, Cara Trautman and Mikey Brown, as well as Ryan Parmenter (Plymouth).

Go Comedy! is set to tackle love and relationships in its all new, fully improvised show Date Night, every Saturday in February at 8pm. Using real singles ads from local papers, the cast creates the story of a man and woman on the perilous journey that follows a blind date. Each show is one of a kind and is based on ads audience members hand pick prior to the show. Date Night features a rotating cast of Go Comedy! resident company members.

Friday and Saturday nights, Rock-o-Matic and Date Night are immediately followed by Guess Who's Coming to Improvise! This brand new, 30-minute show will feature members of the Go Comedy! resident company with special guests for a hilarious improv set. The guests may be local celebrities, artists, brides or grooms to be, birthday celebrants, moms, dads, and more. Tickets for Rock-o-Matic and Date Night include Guess Who's Coming to Improvise.

The Go Comedy! All Star Showdown continues at 10pm on Friday and Saturday nights. In the All Star Showdown, two teams of Detroit's best improvisers go head to head 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 at the Go Comedy! All Star Showdown.
