Monday, September 22, 2025 – 5:30 pm LA - FRANKLIN
See a brand new sketch or solo show birthed right before your eyes that is auditioning for a run at the UCB theater.

It’s a show where we let sketch teams and solo performers try some shit out!

Some will be good, some will be bad but it will all be weird and new and that’s what makes it fun!

It’s experimental sketch at its finest! Come on, you know you need a spanking.

This Monday, we have:

ALTAR’d BOY: Like water to wine, witness the miracle of a pure virginal Catholic becoming an openly robust layman through psalm, psoliloquy, and psketch.

Are you ready for a redemption? Garrett the prodigal son is back and better than ever in the City of Angels after 20 years, where he initially sacrificed his firstborn passion, Acting, and almost became a priest! Come see him narrowly escape the Church’s clutches in this parable of finding identity: as a prepubescent perfectionist, an overcompensating teen youth minister, a holier-than-thou jerkwad, a self-realized ‘fisher of men,’ and more. Sing a hymn, hear a confession, sanctify sex-ridden songs through praise & worship, take a ride on the condemnation coaster, and bear true witness to a gay bear’s secular salvation – ah men!

Garrett graduated from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, UCLA Extension’s Television Writing Program, and Second City’s Music Improv Conservatory. He has co-written and performed sketch comedy in Chicago, New Orleans, and Austin. Chicago Reader described him as having “profound insight” and “lyrical prowess.” Chicagoland Musical Theatre said, “Garrett Allain is delightful to watch. This charming actor with great range is someone to definitely keep your eye out for…” Find more @garrett_ughlain on IG and garrettallain.com

Extinction Burst: Dismantle the fragile scaffolding of the male ego one delusion at a time.

“Extinction Burst” is a character based solo sketch show that dismantles the fragile scaffolding of the male ego, one delusion at a time. Each character captures the absurdity of the final, flailing tantrums of the patriarchy as it thrashes against a world that no longer needs its permission.

This show fully displays the arrogance, ignorance, and hyper specific stupidity that men release into the world on a daily basis. Come have a drink at 2pm on a Tuesday with The Average American Man. Hear the unwanted account of a dude who was just saved from “stage four male pattern baldness”. Try not to get roped into spending money at grifter and “life Sargent” Dick Ropes’ seminar. And see what happens when you finally get a man to go to therapy. Follow Tyler on IG: @tylerfoltznumberone
