Upright Citizens Brigade

Live comedy is such a blast. Tonight I saw Upright Citizens Brigade perform at UCB's Wheeler Hall. They were sort of a younger version of Who's Line Is it Anyway, minus the token black guy. All these guys where white chumps, but entertainingly so.

I recall some other great comedy shows I have been to - I went and saw Kids in the Hall live about 5 years ago. Man, what a fantastic show. They'd stopped the tv show several years before, but they were still quite popular on cable and guest appearances. There's something just so irresistable about that rag tag team of Canadian comics. The chicken lady even made an appearance. I have also seen Bret Butler (not so great, but ok). I have a vague memory of going to see Janeane Garofolo, but that might very welll be a foggy memory of just sitting too close to the tv turned onto HBO.

The sad thing about KITH is their most recent screen effort, Brain Candy, was deleriously pathetic. I still got a thing for gap-toothed David Foley.
