IMPROV: 50 Years Behind the Brick Wall now on NETFLIX

I ORDER YOU TO GO WATCH THIS!!!

I will never forget the time I told younger comics THE ARISTOCRATS backstage at the Improv. Truth be told I had never heard about the "JOKE" but saw the documentary and all the comics said they become professionals when they told THE ARISTOCRATS backstage at the Improv.


This Documentary form EPIX and now available on NETFLIX has some of the best comics of the past few decades talking shop about the club that started it all, the first great comics, the crap they did on and off stage in the early years yada yada yada...
Sienfeld said something very interesting. "How come we don't have more mega stars more than every 13 years" (Paraphrased) Because comics today DON'T work as hard. Too many distractions. Leno talked about being homeless and sleeping outside the NY club waiting a chance to get on stage.


So what ever you do, don't tell you parents "Walt Frasier said I should go live on the streets of NYC"  but every time I hear young comics or actors say "I am paying my dues..." NOT!!!

Waiting tables, temping, retail etc is not paying your dues. If you want a real shot at greatness it takes 100% of your focus at no cost. Back then (before 1980s) comics did not get paid for their stage time at the Improv. They got up onstage and practiced their craft, hoping to get discovered. They would be fed and get some drinks.

Now I am not a fan of unpaid work, but Comedy has no school. (Comedy school for the most part is not where you learn your craft). I can teach you how to basically structure material and Improvise. However, without getting on stage, getting over fears, learning what truly works for yourself, no advice, class or book truly prepares you for a career like real stage time.


WATCH THIS MOVIE. GET ON STAGE. WRITE. DEVELOP YOUR CRAFT.

Performing is a full time job or it is a hobby!!!

The Camp Gyno - Starring our student, Maci

We are so proud of our student. Going to protect her identity for now, being a young NYer. Maci took our classes at her NYC School and then participated last year in our Summer Camp.

WTG. Very talented. Sometimes you just know when you meet a kid they are destined for greatness. And when she is a famous adult, you know the Tonight Show, Conan, Kimmel etc will have a field day with this LOL

LMAO / 8 Improv to play West Liberty University March 27, 2014

Eight Is Never Enough Improv Comedy, parent company of IMPROV 4 TEENS is headed to West Virginia in a few weeks to perform at West Liberty University.

Thursday March 27, 2014 at 8pm
West Liberty University 101 Faculty Drive West Liberty, WV 26074-0295

8 Improv has already played dozens of colleges and university at just about every type of event. At Montclaire State 8 Improv has performed two Labor Days in a row for 700 (2012) and 1000 (2013) incoming freshman in their large auditorium. At College Misericordia, Stonehill College and others we have performed to packed houses at the Coffee/Snack bar club rooms (about 200 ppl each). At Pace you we played 6 shows in 2012 for Spring Preview Weekends & Summer Orientations. At Princeton U - well lets just say I do not think I can talk about that private show at one of their charter houses. Lets just say this was not one of our typical "clean" comedy shows and the scene resembles Animal House The Movie. BUT It was hilarious!!!
