UnCabaret is the groundbreaking show that has been changing comedy since 1988. It's the show that Entertainment Weekly calls "Liberating", Los Angeles Magazine calls "Legendary", The New York Times calls "Seminal", LA Weekly calls "The Mother Show of alternative comedy".

UnCabaret is a hot bed of personal comedic storytelling, fostering the careers of iconoclastic comedy stars like Kathy Griffin, Julia Sweeney, Margaret Cho, Greg Behrendt, Laura Kightlinger, Mike McDonald, Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Kindler, Jeff Garlin, Andy Dick, Dana Gould, Patton Oswalt, Scott Thompson and Taylor Negron. UnCabaret is where award winning comedy writers like Judd Apatow, John Riggi, Michael Patrick King and Larry Charles have come to connect directly with audiences. Where luminaries like Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard, Carrie Fisher and Bill Maher have popped in to try their hand at this comedy free styling.

After a bit of a breather, UnCabaret is back!
