Brave New Workshop, Comedy theatre company in downtown Minneapolis, United States
The Brave New Workshop presents original sketch comedy and improvisational performances in a dedicated theatre space at 824 Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis.
Founded by former circus aerialist Dudley Riggs in 1958, the theatre moved through several Minneapolis locations before settling at its current Hennepin Avenue address.
The theatre has produced more than 400 original comedy shows and trained numerous performers who later achieved national recognition, including Louie Anderson and Al Franken.
The box office opens one hour before each performance, accepting credit cards and mobile payments for tickets to regular shows and special holiday productions.
Hennepin Theatre Trust acquired the Brave New Workshop in 2021, maintaining its status as the longest-running sketch and improvisational comedy theater in the United States.
