Free Comedy...Unless You're Late

Sunday night I attempted to see the weekly free 9 pm show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It's a nice concept: Wait in line, see a free show with Amy Poehler and other top notch comedians. But, of course there are people in NYC who are willing to wait longer than I. Note: Arriving 30 minutes before they hand out the free tickets at 8:15 pm does not get you in. Next time I'm packing dinner and coming a little earlier.

Bottom Line: Free and cheap comedy shows

I tried for the second time to go to the Upright Citizens Brigade's free Sunday show tonight and again, no dice. We were about 20 people short of making it in and that's after arriving an hour and a half before they give out tickts at 8:15 pm. Go super early or don't go at all!
