Our weekly drop in class / Jam session is designed to make every improvisor feel at home whether a seasoned pro or looking for an introductory experience. We have new players/ students joining every week along side regulars that have been having fun with us in Times Square for 1-2 years or more. Simply playing improv comedy games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, self confidence, self awareness and more. We use to train corporate groups team building, leadership, sales and customer service skills. But we just focus on our 3 #1s:
- Our #1 Rule: HAVE FUN but never at another’s expense!
- Improv #1 Rule: YES AND... Always say yes AND follow up with supportive words and actions.
- #1 Skill in Comedy? Listening! Listening with your eyes. Listening with the willingness to change.

In the past decade he has appeared onSNBC’s “Blacklist”, Showtime’s “Billions” CBS’s “Blue Bloods”, USA’s “Royal Pains” and Netflix’s “Lilyhammer”. Frasier got his start on TV via Sketch Comedy bits on MTV, Letterman and more recently HBO and TruTV’s Friends of the People. Since 2002, Walt Frasier has been mostly busy performing & teaching in Times Square and touring nationwide (colleges, corporate events) with EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH Improv Comedy.
