Gravid Water, Live and LIVESTREAMED!
Gravid Water is a theatrical-comedy experiment where actors are given real scenes from real plays that they prepare as they would for a regular play. They are paired with improvisers who have no prior knowledge of the scenes—seeing and reacting to them for the first time on stage. The always surprising results are hilarious, heartbreaking, and everything in between. Gravid Water has played to sold-out houses in New York and Los Angeles for over fifteen years, as well as the Kennedy Center and theaters across the country. Starring the biggest names in comedy, Broadway, television, and movies, Gravid Water is honored to bring this wild experiment back home to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

Or perhaps Rudy Guiliani will show hole?
Whoever DOES stop by you can bet your bottom dollar it’ll be a shit carnival the ages!
This show is a foul nightmare. You’ve been warned!

About the Upright Citizens Brigade
Home for alternative comedy since 1999
The Upright Citizens Brigade is home for all things comedy. With shows seven nights a week, UCB has become the home for alternative comedy — improv, sketch, stand-up, and yes, all the wonderfully weird shit in between.
UCB also runs a full Training Center with classes in Improv, Sketch Comedy, TV Writing, Characters, and more. Led by some of the best comedic talents working in entertainment today, UCB’s curriculum gives students the tools and stage experience they need to take their comedy to the next level.
Founded in 1999 in New York City by Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh, UCB has since expanded to Los Angeles and now offers live comedy every night of the week — from up-and-coming performers to established acts and everything in between.
