Bottle of Red
Margaret and Nancy, along with their pal Josh Funk, founded the Planet Ant Improv Colony in 2000. They met at The Second City Detroit and upon realizing they were essentially the same person quickly became besties. For some stooped reason, they never played as a two-person troupe until one fateful night in 2006. Bottle of Red was born, and the duo went to perform regularly at the Planet Ant. They also wrote and performed their sketch show ‘Uncorked”. Since then they have played in many super fun festivals including DIF and the Detroit Women of Comedy Festival. Together Margaret and Nancy blend their years of improv experience and notes of unmatched humor into a complex bouquet of comedy.

Da Bureau
The Bureau was formed in 2019 as part of Go Comedy Improv Theater’s “Launch Group” program, where improvisers audition to be on a house team that performs every Sunday for a year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, that run ended up getting temporarily stalled, however during the lockdown they continued meeting virtually, and recorded a sketch comedy album during this time streaming at https://dabureauofimprov.com. After the state opened back up our run got extended, making Da Bureau Go Comedy’s longest running launch group in its history.
Da Bureau hosted The Thursday Throwdown w/ Da Bureau at Planet Ant Theater in Hamtramck, MI for a year. They've performed at both the Grand Rapids Improv Festival and the Detroit Improv Festival.
