Monday, January 19, 2026 – 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…

The Day Job Survival Handbook Comes to Life!

Watch as characters from Matt Visconage‘s debut satire gift book The Day Job Survival Handbook come to life to tell you all about the trials, tribulations, and Performance Improvement Plans of working at your favorite company, smartHaven!

A hilarious  showcase of the wacky characters that live in The Day Job Survival Handbook, the new gift book written by UCB’s Matt Visconage and published by Humorist Books. Watch as Diane from Finance finally comes to life! Stand in horror as you hear the defiant last battle cry of the 18-inch party sub that was ordered for this week’s meeting! Be generally confused as Shaun from Fulfilment explains his job but you’re still not 100% what exactly he does. It involves sending CDs out? Different characters from the book will come to life live on stage as David in customer service tries desperately to answer a massive stream of incoming angry calls and the CEO Robert Welde The 3rd takes all the credit for it.

And that’s not all! One special member of the audience will win a copy of the book! And everyone will have the opportunity to buy a copy via a not-at-all intrusive QR code that will be flashed on the screen. *Those who do not buy a copy may be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan with HR.* Avoid a write up from HR and buy your own copy today in advance at: https://humoristbooks.com/the-day-job-survival-handbook/
