If you live near NYC (say, within 5,000 miles), then I highly recommend you haul your ass to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for hilarious sketch and improv comedy. On Sundays they have a show called Asssscat 3000 that is totally improv-licious. It always features members of the Upright Citizens Brigade, and it usually has guests fron SNL and Second City. I saw the 9:30PM show yesterday and three of the 4 members of UCB were there. (Matt Besser was off, most likely working on his new show.) I highly recommend it, if you have the means. It is so choice. Also, free stickers.
In other comedy news, Run Ronnie Run is finally coming to DVD, September 16th, 2003. From the guys who brought you Mr. Show, I've heard people call RRR a cult-hit, but really its cultish of the highest order: never released in theaters, the only way you can see it is if a friend of a friend of a friend gives you a beat-up VHS copy, or you find it online. I'm a big Mr. Show fan, and even I haven't gone through the trouble of tracking it down. Part of the reason is a lot of hardcore fans have said it wasn't really that good. Still, I'll be buying it, if only to support Bob and David.
