A Bit About the “Headliners” Comedy Show

As the oldest satirical comedy theater in the nation, the Brave New Workshop is happy to share with your group a show rooted in our comedic tradition as one of the founding institutions of American improvisation with the look and feel of a delightful Saturday Night Live meets Whose Line is it Anyway? comedy medley. Talented Brave New Workshop actors will perform a 30-50 minute custom improvisational comedy show to fill the room with laughter and create a unique shared experience for the group.  With a perfect blend of corporate content, appropriate G-PG 13 humor and big time funny, our performances are often the highlight of the event!

Our process for creating your “Headliners” show

The BNW team will ask key organizational representatives to complete a questionnaire to gather pertinent information and craft comedy specific to the group’s industry and appropriate in content.  After the BNW has reviewed the completed questionnaire, we will conduct a follow up conference call to get further information and arm ourselves with enough details and insight to create a truly custom improvised show.  

What does the show look like?

BNW improvisers ask the audience for specific suggestions and perform our world-renown improvised “instant theater” that incorporates both the spontaneity of the moment, the specific suggestions from the audience and the custom information gathered during the preparation process described above. The show will consist of several three- to ten-minute “improvisational structures,” each with its own unique premise and set of rules.
