The Clubhouse, Snooze Button, and Messing with Lehr
The Clubhouse (Ferndale, MI) The Clubhouse is the resident company house team at Go Comedy Improv Theater. Made up of 25 of Detroit's top improvisors, a random group of six can be seen performing every Sunday night in the Weekend Finale. 9 out of 10 dentists recommend watching a Clubhouse set to help prevent cavities and gingivitis, the other dentist says no this isn't possible.
Snooze Button (Kansas City, MS/Portland OR) Long time friends, Andy and Josh, get to know an audience member and then make them the hero of their very own story. With their own brand of playful theatricality and wild characters, they are inspired by the audience member’s life to take them on a journey where they always end up saving the day!
Messing with Lehr (Chicago, IL) Together, Messing and Lehr are A Delightful Couple—an improvised comedy romp to wherever they want to go!

I Ain't No Joke, Forever 15, and BlackGround
I Ain’t No Joke w/Jake Russel (Detroit, MI) Stand up comedians tell 5 minutes of jokes. Afterwards, an improv group acts out the comedian’s material -in an nothing but YES-AND-ING type of way.
Forever 15 (Detroit, MI) Forever Fifteen is an improv duo featuring Joe Hingelberg & Travis Pelto of Ferndale, MI. After meeting in their high school improv club at the age of 15, the two went on to perform for over 20 years in various improv and sketch comedy shows across Metro Detroit. Recently the two worked with local improvisor Shawn Golden to create an animated sketch comedy show, Big Big Baby and then worked with Adult Swim Smalls to create GLEN.
Blackground (Atlanta, GA) From Dad’s Garage in Atlanta, GA, BlackGround is an all-African-American comedy troupe of hilarious performers, amazing guests, killer comedy, and a fun-filled celebration of Blackness!
Each performance is inspired by a classic movie with all-white (or mostly-white) cast—think Star Wars or Indiana Jones—and the performers improvise what the Black people were doing during the movie! Come laugh, celebrate, and embrace the essence of Blackness in a way you've never seen before. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience where laughter meets legacy.
