Tobin commenting on the new location said, "We are thrilled to be partnering with MG2 and New England Craft Group and be part of the obvious momentum in downtown Worcester. The WooHaHa! Comedy Club is proud to be adding to the vibrancy that abounds in such a proud place like Worcester."

President and CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, Tim Murray added, "As part of our recruitment mission we were proud to introduce John Tobin Presents, a full comedy production company, to Worcester and possible venue locations. This partnership with MG2 and Frank Peace will bring visitors and top quality acts to Worcester's downtown."

The new WooHaha stand-up and improv comedy club, which is located on the first floor of the newly renovated 255-unit luxury residence Bancroft on the Grid overlooking Worcester Commons, is also adjacent to Craft Table & Bar and Revolution Pie + Pint and will be serving innovative food and drinks from both concepts.
