A Guy Walks In A Bar

24 August 10

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

A cast of Upright Citizens Brigade taped a pilot in Santa Cruz called This Show Will Get You High. I had the chance to interview two of the members, Brett Gelman and Matt Besser (one of the founding members of the UCB Theaters). Here is the interview.

The whole cast was wonderful to meet and they even allowed me to jump into a cast picture or two.

Maybe I’ll hunt down my solo interview of John Gemberling and cut that down to some clips and upload them. It’s way too big to upload as one file.

The entire cast was:

Matt Besser (Upright Citizens Brigade, Walk Hard)
Paul Rust (I Love You Beth Cooper, Inglorious Basterds)
John Gemberling (Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet)
Brett Gelman (Human Giant)
Betsy Sodaro (UCB Theatre)
Jessica Williams (Just for Kicks)

Today I found this MLIA:

“Today, I stuck a hand into my coat pocket and found five dollars. Wrapped inside of the five dollars, there was a note. “You have just been reverse pickpocketed. Enjoy this five dollars in knowing that it was forcibly received by your pocket; take that, society.” I then proceeded to stick both the money and note into another victim’s pocket.”

It reminds me of something Improv Everywhere would do. If you are not familiar with them then I would love to inform you with this video.

They are a group of awesome people that do public improv. Rather than perform on a stage, they interact on the streets.

It’s things like these that I wish I was in New York, because then I could go to UCB Theatre and be around people like this…

Holy shit, hunting out the link for UCB theatre I just found out that there is a sister theatre of their’s in LA. Score!
