Upright Citizens Brigade
UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE is a Comedy Central original sketch series
about a renegade intelligence organization whose mission is to spread chaos
wherever and whenever possible. The four members of the troupe undermine
authority and disrupt an already unstable world.
The sketch-comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade formed in Chicago
in 1990. After several years of performing in various venues there, it
moved to New York to pursue bigger and better things. Over the past several
years, the UCB has developed a nationwide reputation as witty, irreverent,
and conceptually ambitious, a reputation it helped solidify with an enormously
well-received performance at this year's Aspen Comedy Festival. Its hotly
anticipated TV show recently made its debut on Comedy Central, where it
follows South Park. The Onion recently spoke with each member of the group--Matt
Besser, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts, and Amy Poehler--about following the most
popular show on basic cable, their storied past, and the future of the
Upright Citizens Brigade.UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE is a Comedy Central original
