Improv comedy is nothing new to New York, but Eight is Never Enough stands out because, after years of delighting audiences, the show is a New York institution. Founded in 2002 by Walt Frasier and Laurice Fattal, Eight is Never Enough is more than a comedy show but a community. While the team’s home base is in New York City, the troupe also tours around the country to schools and theatres while also leading classes for improvisers of all abilities. Their shows and events host everyone from students and corporate groups to bachelorette parties and one-off single-ticket buyers.

Eight is Never Enough varies from show to show: as the roster of comedians changes, so does the audience night after night. As the title suggests, sometimes the improvisers need a little more to succeed. That means the audience gets to step in for some light and safe interactions, stepping up to the stage and playing a role in shaping how each act resolves.
