UCBeast IS OPEN!

This is happening @UCBTheatreNY!

ucbdifference:

It gives me great joy to be able to announce that UCB’s long awaited East Village venue — UCBeast — will be open as of tonight at 7:30pm. A new website will be forthcoming in the near future. 

Please come check out the new space (155 E. 3rd Street and Avenue A). There is an attached bar (The Hot Chicks Room), where we’ll be serving soft drinks to start out and beer and wine soon.

The theatre itself is a beautiful 124 seat space, totally refurbished with brand new seats and fixtures, that will make for some great live comedy, despite the notable absence of multiple columns blocking significant portions of the stage.

Stop on by and buy a ticket at the door! Or use your improv Student ID for free entry to shows marked with an *

About Me

I am a French-Iranian woman in New York. I have a passion for comedy, and have been lucky to be performing all over New York since 2010. I was a TV producer and a head writer for a morning live news show in France, as well as a free lance journalist and a book editor for many years.

I am also a performer at the UCB & The PIT in New York.

Check out my indie teams: Pou&Nic and PANTS!.

My other blog: Women Improvisers Trust

I am involved with the Diversity Initiative at the UCB and manage their blog too: UCBDifference.tumblr.com

Some of the things I do outside of comedy and my day job:

I fight cancer with a passion - I want to contribute to a world where cancer will be as benign as a simple cold. Where you can donate against cancer of any kind and give hope to families and patients
