Now in our 23rd year performing live from Times Square NYC and touring nationwide, EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH Improv Comedy started as the vision of Executive Producer, Laurice Fattal, and Artistic Director Walt Frasier. While today’s shows have many new faces, the heart and soul of 8 Improv carries on with a piece from dozens of talent performers, amazing souls on and off the stage, in and out of the classroom. We also must not forget the 1000s of students, patrons and clients have shaped the course of our lives and careers. You all are our chosen family.

Our core competency is our interactive musical comedy show that has played 1000s of public and private events at The Smithsonian Portrait Gallery, Wolf Trap, The Argyle Theater, Emelin Theater, Gerold Opera House, 72nd Street Pier, Cherry Point Marine Base, Disney Resorts, Ohio National Guard, Connecticut DCF, First Nights Winchester VA, Binghamton First Night, Haddonfield First Night, Chateau Briand, Babylon Carriage House, retirement homes, numerous libraries, YMCA, JCC, Parks and Recreation, 1000s of k12 schools and summer camps in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska.

At some point we become educators. While we have dozens of students crossing over into having careers in the arts, 1000s more are living their best lives, embracing the magic of YES AND… in their professional and personal lives. We have seen so many kids, teens and adults, discover an inner strength, whether in our weekly classes and one off workshops at schools and corporate team building events. All we do is provide a fun, safe space to play. Some take longer than others to let go of that fear of failure, fear of judgement. Many lives are changed after 5 minutes of simply playing these games.

Our Governing Principals –

We starts ever workshop, class and educational performance with these simple concepts…

• Walter’s #1 Rule: HAVE FUN But never at another’s expense!
  We focus on great theater, not bad comedy. We build each other up.
• Improv #1 Rule: YES AND…
  Always say YES! And… follow that up with words ad actions that accept and support your team. The #1 factor in team success is Psychological Safety. If everyone on the team feels valued and safe to participate your team succeeds. Improv players’ #1 job is to make our team look amazing. We never have to worry about ourselves because the entire team has our back!
• #1 Skill in Comedy, Theater, Life: LISTEN!
  Listening with your eyes. Listening with the willingness to change. Listening is also the #1 factor in a great leader. Let’s replace bad bosses and managers with great leaders. Leaders that serve their community, their employees, their students, their children, giving them the tools to succeed. Leaders that LEAD BY EXAMPLE. When our teams succeed we succeed.
