Improv A Go Go began in May 2002. Improv A Go Go is an open venue to all forms of improvised theater. Slots are assigned via a lottery system, which is held three times per year.

Improv A Go Go allows established improv groups to try out new forms, and provides a venue for news groups to get stage experience. Many of these groups come out of the improv classes taught at the Brave New Workshop.
