Upright Citizens Brigade
Comedy · New York, NY
About
The Upright Citizens Brigade has been making audiences erupt in laughter since 1996, when founders Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh brought their improv to New York. Tickets often run just $8. In Chelsea near 8th Ave., this comedy club has seen surprise drop-ins from Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Robin Williams, and others. The crowd leans 20-something and 30-something, mixed LGBTQ+ and straight, and the vibe is budget-friendly.
Shows run Monday through Saturday from 5pm to midnight; Sunday hours start at 2pm. It's a good bet for an affordable night out. If you're exploring queer arts in NYC, the National September 11 Memorial is nearby if you want a more somber stop, but UCB keeps things light.
