Monkey Business Institute (MBI) is Madison’s favorite improv comedy company, made up of seasoned performers who have been creating laughter and connection in our community for 20+ years. We believe—just like Gilda’s Club—that laughter is powerful, healing, and best enjoyed in a space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and safe.
Each MBI show is completely custom, inspired by audience suggestions and shaped in the moment. That means no scripts, no re-runs, and no picking on anyone—ever. Our performers are kind humans first and comedians second, and our goal is always to lift people up, not put them on the spot. Audience participation is always invitational, supportive, and done with care, so everyone can relax and enjoy the fun.
This one-hour show is packed with fast-paced, classic short-form improv comedy that’s smart, clean, and laugh-out-loud funny. The content is appropriate for all ages—delighting kids, adults, and anyone who appreciates clever humor with heart. Expect big laughs, joyful surprises, and a room full of people feeling connected, seen, and a little lighter than when they arrived.
Join us for this great evening of the unexpected, improv, and laughter.
