It’s a Grown Up Improv Show by Monkey Business Institute! Our Grown-Up Show features two acts of hilarious improv comedy. This show is for people who like their improv a little bit saucy, so content is usually rated PG-13 with an occasional dip above “PG-17.”
Show starts at 8:00pm, doors open at 7:15pm.
We’re cleaning up the basement… no more buffet! Still want pizza with your improv? Your MBI ticket gets you 10% off the Glass Nickel menu when you eat in the upstairs dining room (before the All Ages or after the Grown Up Show).
A specialized bar menu is available in the GN Basement during the show for bevvies, sodas, beer and cocktails for an additional fee. There is a 1 drink minimum for each attendee: please note that mocktails, sodas, or bottled water are options.
Many of our performance areas are small spaces with little air circulation. If you’re sick and feel you might be contagious, please stay home to keep others safe. Just notify us of the situation, and we’ll be happy to refund you the tickets.

Longform Two Class Show [FALL 2025]
2025-11-16 20:00 | Muso, 2040 Winnebago St, Madison, 53704, United States
In Longform: Level One we focused on the longform The Armando and MBI’s The Merge. In Level Two we focused on genre-based longform. We started with some general work in genre-based improv and then looked at some of MBI’s genre-based forms such as Possibly a Disaster – a disaster movie-based form, and BIFF! BANG! KAPOW! – a superhero comic book-inspired form. And now they’re ready to put on a show for you!
Featuring:
Sam Blackburn
