Off-Broadway Improv Comedy Troupe Comes to Springfield

Members of the comedy troupe Eight is Never Enough will take the stage in Springfield on Jan, 9 at Congregation Israel at 339 Mountain Avenue starting at 8 p.m. (the show was originally set for December, but was held due to weather). Presented by Mikvah Yisroel of Springfield, "A Night of Comedy" features a troupe of talented NYC comedians, good food and good laughs. It only costs $30 a person/$50 a couple or $100/sponsor (includes 2 tickets).  The price goes up by $5 when purchased at the door.

This troupe's show has been featured at the Times Square Arts Center (formerly the Laugh Factory) and other NYC locations. Of the fifteen cast members, you may have caught Lee Markham as Luke in "Altar Boyz," while you also get fresh new performers like 2008 College Graduate Katie Seigmund. The team focuses on "short-form" improvisation, specializing in music, physical comedy and old school slapstick. Comedian Walt Frasier, who leads the show, thrives off the audiences reactions.

"When there's an audience member who wants to go there, it's my job to push the show in the right direction," he said.

Since founded in 2002, the troupe has visited over 15 college campuses and Universities, dozens of schools and very special events for HBO, MTV, Mastercard, Martha Stewart Omni Media and American Express—so you know they are funny!

All proceeds from the event will go to maintaining the mikvah, a ritual bath designed for the purpose of ritual immersion in Judaism. For more information on Mikvah Yisroel of Springfield, please visit their Web site.

This night is sure to beat any hassle trying to get through the Lincoln Tunnel. How convenient!
