Walt and Laurice Frasier created EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH as a showcase for agents and casting directors back in 2002. Within two years, it became clear that there was a market for short form Improv Comedy not being satisfied adequately by the current players. Now, as SGF PRODUCTIONS (formerly Frasier Productions of New York), the couple presents 300-400 shows and workshops every year. Through the COMEDY HALL OF FAME, NYC students are receiving credit for studying Improv.
