Bad show. Rude People. Pass! – I was surprised that our experience was so bad after reading all the good reviews. My friend and I went on Harold night, and we felt like the show was full of inside jokes that only about 1/8 of the audience seemed to get. It was kind of like they were performing just for their friends. It was really unprofessional. The performers seemed to expect the laughs and even taunted the audience when they didn't get them. The theater itself was really gross. Something dripped on me from the ceiling and... read more

The UCB may have gained a mass audience, but it hasn't abandoned its stellar lineup or highly reasonable ticket prices. – Once upon a time, way back in the '90s, the Upright Citizens Brigade used funds from its Comedy Central show to open a theater. Today, the UCBT boasts seating for 140, a larger stage and two video monitors, and is home to some of NYC's most ambitious and imaginative improv, sketch and solo comedy acts. The nearby UCB Training Center also offer a series of intensive improv and sketch courses, taught by vet... read more

Great cheap laughs – You can show up on any night and see something funny for $5-10. Not every joke or sketch hits the mark, but you will laugh more than you expect to!

Truly Hilarious – You know how a small, somewhat unknown comedy club can be hit or miss? This one is definitely a hit. My girlfriend and I have been twice and both times we laughed....a lot. Truly funny, smart and inventive comedy. Not to mention it only cost us $5 to get in the door mid-week. Grab yourself a couple of $2 PBRs and you got a cheap date! Definitely check this place out.
