“Agree!!! UGH.”
– Accidentally wrote an email to my BFF that summarized every email I’ve ever written to my BFF
WatchWhy is no one except the UCB Bachelor email thread talking about this “comedy” video allegedly by Bachelor Ben Flajnik?

What could be better than watching the beautiful but somewhat desperate gals of The Bachelor claw their way to the heart of one clueless dude? Perhaps the sketch-comedy show The Bachelor: Romance, Roses, and Romance at the Upright Citizens Brigade has the answer—and just in time for ...
Are You Watching This Season of The Bachelor?
romancerosesandromance:
If so, you should really, really come check out The Bachelor: Romance, Roses, and Romance at UCB Chelsea at 8pm tonight. We wrote our show based, largely, on the last few seasons of The Bachelor, but we really lucked out with this season - the parallels are outstanding. To wit, both The Bachelor and The Bachelor: Romance, Roses, and Romance feature:

Valentine's Day! (My girliest post yet!)
thedailygrace:
Since Casey and I have been together we tend to have consistently great Valentine’s Day Days. Which doesn’t really go with our whole mission statement as a couple. I’m a notorious “THIS IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE” for all Holidays and Birthdays. And Casey is in a constant state of low key-ism. So why does V-Day always go so well? I asked Casey this question the other day along...

LAist has nice things to say about Pig! Make those reservations for this Thursday at 7!
In the span of about 30 minutes, Pig: A Restaurant slices and dices through the pretentiousness of the food scene. And while we didn’t get all of the New York-centric nuances (maybe an LA version is in order?), the humor does translate well on the left coast. We guess it’s ...

Personal hero Adam Roberts came to the show last night! And he liked it!
We just saw a hilarious skewering of the food world at L.A.’s U.C.B. (Upright Citizens Brigade) called “Pig: A Restaurant.” Actress Lauren Adams tackles everyone from Gael Greene to David Chang in this play written by Leila Cohan-Miccio and directed by Caitlin Bitzegio. Based on real world...

Oh god, this is so perfect.
“We see you have a website here in which you give people what could best be described as arts and crafts ‘homework assignments’ of various sorts, but to be quite honest, we can’t make head or tail of it,” Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said while consulting a laptop in order to view one of July’s perplexing Internet outlets,...

I need all the fucking naps, you guys. All the fucking naps.
Says one commenter:
It’s simple. The channels that focus on comedy also focus on advertising to guys. Dudes, specifically. And personally, I love stuff that dudes like. Just not exclusively.
Fair enough! But here’s the thing (and HOLD ON TO THOSE HATS, BECAUSE IT’S A SHOCKER): Women buy things too. Here is a...

Restaurant industry satire, Pig: A Restaurant, by former food blogger Leila Cohan-Miccio, has had a very popular run since opening at NYC’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade; and now it’s poised to make its LA debut on January 26th at 8 PM at UCBLA. The comedic play follows seven characters at the opening party of a meat-obesssed restaurant in “East Gowanus,...
Breaking Up With 34th Street
Last night after Pig, Lauren and I waited for the F together at 34th Street Herald Square. It was a long wait, because the subways were nightmare city last night. Here are some things that happened:
The station, as per usual, smelled like a combination of pee and poop and musk, but mostly like stale farts mixed with stale body odor. Why does only this station smell this way? Surely there is...
