There are few institutions as deeply engrained in the modern comedy scene as The Upright Citizens Brigade, the bi-coastal network of theaters and training centers that began as a grassroots labor of love from co-founders Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. The starting grounds for dozens of comics currently starring in network comedies and box office hits, the UCB is a breeding ground for innovative, eclectic talent; its also known as a supportive community for fledgling and famed performers alike, a home for experimental acts to develop and for acclaimed shows to reach comedy-savvy crowds.

On Monday, March 11 at the Esther's Follies stage presented by TuneIn, The Upright Citizens Brigade is hosting two showcases spotlighting some of the theater's most talented improvisers and standups.
