I am across the country in the Tri-State area. I bought a $10 ticket to watch The Smokes and The Big Team via live stream and ... both groups were fantastic. The call backs were so funny in each group. I am not feeling well; I'm grateful you get 7 days to watch the live stream. *I contacted UCB because I had not received my live stream link; I got an immediate reply (it was a small misunderstanding on my part). I have to say that the person whom I was in touch with immediately helped me and also explained that since I wasn't feeling good that I had 7 days to watch the live stream. I couldn't have been happier with this woman's kindness and humor. The Big Team started with only two members there to perform, which was totally OK, as the ticket sales area makes it clear that the players in each group may be different on the day of the show. These two guys from the Big Team were so in sync and SO funny!!! I recently heard Carl Tart on an older Bonanas For Bonanza podcast episode, so seeing him work live with one of his partners -- and then, halfway through the show, another one of their "Big Team" group showed up and jumped right in without missing a beat, my goodness, they were so funny!! I love that both groups thought so outside the box and they were funny because of the choices they made-- and watching them stick to those choices without breaking was so funny, too. I enjoyed The Big Team so much, I already bought my ($10) ticket for the May 2nd show. Logistics: The stage is the perfect size and the live stream filming and audio were perfect! Thank you, UCB / LA.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for an evening of laughter and entertainment. The performers were incredibly talented, showcasing quick wit, sharp improvisation skills, and a natural flair for comedy. Each act brought something unique to the stage, keeping the audience engaged and laughing non-stop. The chemistry among the cast members was palpable, adding to the spontaneity and charm that UCB is renowned for. What stood out the most was the intimate setting of the theater, which created a close connection between the performers and the audience. It felt personal and immersive, making the comedic moments even more impactful. The staff was friendly and organized, ensuring everyone had a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're a longtime fan of improv or new to the scene, visiting the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is a must. I left with my spirits lifted and a smile that lasted long after the show ended. Highly recommended for a night of top-notch comedy!

Small and intimate venue for incredibly funny improv! Their 1.5 hour flagship show, Elefante, absolutely flew by. We will be returning! Definitely buy your tickets as far in advance as possible as they sell out regularly. Then be there on time otherwise your tix will be released or you'll have trouble finding seats together. Parking isn't too bad if you're willing to find street spots a couple blocks away (hint: head to the streets northeast of the theater).
