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.
