The show has served as a great source of quality entertainment for professionals, students and tourists of all ages throughout the NYC and tri-state area. Eight began it's first official sketch comedy run in the spring of 2003 which ran for 15-weeks at The Producer's Club's Shea Theatre in Times Square. After establishing a style and show structure, the company began touring Military Bases, Colleges (University of MD, Mt. Ida College, Stonehill College, High Point Unviersity), Comedy Clubs, Night Clubs/& Music Venues (The Knitting Factory), Corporate Events, Theatres and schools. In the spring of 2003, the troupe created a brief online series of 4 live world wide web casts filmed at Pseudo's TV Studios (Pseudo.com) located in SoHo. The performers have also developed a series of other projects and shows including the new hit off-broadway musical comedy revue "LMAO-ff Broadway" and "Improv 4 Kids". The troupe has been invited to perform at hundreds of events throughout the east coast and has played over 2000 public performances throughout NYC. From spring of 2006 to fall 2009, Eight is NEVER Enough served as the house troupe at World Famous Laugh Factory at the Times Square Arts Center. They then launched a major schedule of off-broadway performances under AGVA, running 8 public shows weekly from fall of 2009 to 2011 with LMAO. You can now catch the troupe at Broadway Comedy Club.

Eight is NEVER Enough has a variety of influences including classic theatrical and television comedy shows from the 20th century. As one of the few NY-based improv companies focusing on *short-form* improvisation, the company performs up to 15 performances every week for student groups and touring shows. Audience participation is always key as each show incorporates volunteers and ideas from the crowd into every scene, skit and song. Specializing in music, physical comedy and old school slapstick, EIGHT presents high energy shows combining original characters and improvised musical songs.
