This is the home of the best touring comedy in America. Mainstream comedy is for jerks. You don't want to be a jerk, do you?
The UCB Theatre is the greatest producer of comedic talent in America today and the Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company brings the very best of our theatres in NYC and LA directly to you. It’s your chance to see stars of today and tomorrow live on stage from the theatre that brought you comedy greats like Horatio Sanz, Amy Poehler, Rob Corddry, Ed Helms, MTV's Human Giant, the Daily Show’s Rob Riggle and many many more. Check out our credits sheet for a glimpse into the scope of our influence.
We are excited to have a great lineup of critically acclaimed comedy shows, workshops and events featuring some of the best comedians in the business. Our main touring shows are listed below.
