Ant Works is a natural outgrowth of the Planet Ant's improv colony. Since 1993 Planet Ant has been a home for Metro Detroit’s comedy scene.
We have had tens of thousands of people through our doors in that time. Some of them are now familiar faces on film and TV. Luminaries such as Keegan Michael Key [Key and Peele], Marc Evan Jackson [Brooklyn Nine Nine], Sam Richardson [Veep], Tim Robinson [I Think You Should Leave], Nancy Hayden [Detroiters], and Jaime Moyer [Bobs Burgers] are just some of the names that have called Planet Ant home.
Currently Planet Ant’s training center has an ongoing student population in the hundreds, and a facility that puts on more than 750 unique shows per year.
In our 30+ years as a comedy destination in Metro Detroit we’ve always taken our comedy seriously.
