Name Pending - Name Pending is a newer improv troupe on the scene, but they play hard. The origin of Name Pending stemmed from not being able to decide on another title that fully embodied the spirit of the eclectic group. The group met in an Intro to Improv class at the Planet Ant Training Center. They have been improvising together since March of 2022 while continuing their education at Planet Ant. They are looking forward to performing more in 2023.

Go DJ! - Go DJ! is a duo composed of Jake Russell and Daniel Cook, based out of Planet Ant in Hamtramck, MI. The pair first met back in 2018 at a stand-up class at Mark Ridley’s, and then re-met in 2019 at an improv event through a mutual friend named Aliya (what’s up, Aliya, if you’re reading this!).
They have performed mainly at Planet Ant and at Civic Improv in Ann Arbor, which has been like a second home for the duo. If you try to contact them, don’t hold your breath — they’re busy grindin. Rise & grind baby.
Go DJ! is not in any way affiliated with the Young Money Cash Money Billionaires (YMCMB) of Lil Wayne and Drake and ’nem, although don’t be surprised if you happen to see them getting money one day. (But that day is not today, unfortunately, so don’t come up trying to ask for a loan either. You will be promptly denied.)
