Splitting the uprights
Legendary improv-comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade is probably best known for their short-running but long-lamented Comedy Central show from the late 1990s. But the group is still going strong and doing regular shows in New York and Los Angeles, while also performing national tours like the one coming to the Valentine Theatre this month. It's not some tame, predictable stand-up show — instead, you'll be treated to a night of razor-sharp improvisation from the coolest pros in the business. Citizenship has never been more fun.
$24-40. Sunday, December 16, 7pm. 410 Adams St. 419-242-2787. www.valentinetheatre.com. —MD
