About the Brave New Workshop (BNW): The Brave New Workshop has been writing, performing and
producing sketch comedy and improvisation since 1958-- longer than any other theatre in the United
States. Founded by former circus performer Dudley Riggs and currently owned by husband and wife John
Sweeney and Jenni Lilledahl, the little storefront theatre on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis has become
a legendary comedy institution, where audiences enjoy improv and sketch comedy nearly every night of
the week. The company’s talented performers create satirical, irreverent, and intelligent original works.
Alums of the Workshop stage include Louie Anderson, Pat Proft, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Mo Collins
("Mad TV"), Peter MacNichol ("Ally McBeal", “24”), Melissa Peterman ("Reba"), and Cedric Yarborough
("Reno 911", “The Boondocks”). The Brave New Workshop’s corporate services division trains and
entertains companies like Microsoft, Yahoo!, Visa, and Target. Additionally, the Brave New Institute
school of improvisation boasts the most comprehensive improv training curriculum in the country.
