ASSSSCAT

last thursday, i went to a taping for the Upright Citizens Brigade ASSSSCAT show that will air on Bravo this spring. for those that don't know, UCB is an improvisational comedy group and they are very irreverent and very funny. the show i saw featured amy poehler, tina fey, horatio sanz, rachel dratch, andy richter, matt besser, matt walsh, ian roberts, and kevin dorff. it was 2 hours of ceaseless hilarity, and then i stayed for the second show, so it ended up being 4 hours of hilarity. essentially, there are two people who perform impromptu monologues, tina fey and andy richter. the monologues are based on a single word yelled out by the audience. i loved every minute of it. watching improv comedy is like watching complete chaos. people are running around the stage, tapping people out like a tag-team WWF match, and sometimes abruptly terminate sketches. the anarchy on stage is thrilling. as you watch the players swirl around each other, you become enchanted with how manic it all is.

i am definitely going back.
