Welcome to the world's most dangerous Improv show, where two mighty teams of gladiators will take the stage to prove who is the best of the best.

This is not an exhibition. This is a no-holds-barred competition. The audience determines the winner each week via secret ballot. The winner returns the following week to defend their title against a new challenger.

Thursday's at 10:00 pm
Upright Citizens Brigade Theater
242 E 14th Street
(between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)


And We're Back!
May 6, 2024
Fresh out of a time portal from the year 2121, hosts Fun Boy Randy and Chuck Cuckley have ushered in a new explosive age of Cage Match at UCB's new theater on East 14th Street. Inaugurating the new era, superstar teams THE STEPFATHERS and WHAT I DID FOR LOVE went head to head in the Arena with a jaw-dropping exhibition match and brought not only a supernova of comedy but also what may be the finest pre-fight statements the world has ever seen. When the dust settled, THE STEPFATHERS took the exhibition champion title, but everyone was a winner--especially the sold-out crowd in attendance. Join us next week when our regular season resumes, every Thursday at 10pm. We'll see you in the ring. FBR/CC

January 10, 2020
Last night's audience full of Cage-a-Maniacs witnessed a historical first Cage Match Tournament of Champions TIE SCORE! Two wonderful 25-minute sets by Rumpleteaser and then by My Momma's Biscuits produced a tie score of 41 to 41. After all present recovered from the shock of the unprecedented moment, both teams happily agreed to perform additional 5-minute sets right then and there, followed by another audience vote. The second vote result was 41 to 34 with My Momma's Biscuits advancing to the Semifinals round. Thanks to the audience for staying a bit longer for the bonus fun, to both teams for the good attitudes and creating four amazing shows, and extra-special thanks to everyone working at UCBT last night for doing all the surprise extra work that made the bonus round go so smoothly.
