Comedy on the Spot: Madison’s Improv Troupe Has a Following

Those seeking out unpredictable weekend entertainment should look no further than the Glass Nickel Pizza Co. on 2916 Atwood Ave. The establishment is typically known for its gourmet variety of pizzas but on Friday nights, it’s known for something else, as well: improv comedy.

The restaurant is home to weekly performances from Best of Madison bronze winner Monkey Business Institute, an improv troupe that boasts members with over one hundred years of combined experience and backgrounds that are as diverse as the performances themselves.
