The UCB is New York City’s best (and cheapest!) comedy theatre, and was founded in 1999 by Amy Poehler, Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts. Del Close was one of the leaders of longform improv, influencing the careers of everyone from John Belushi to Tina Fey. The Marathon began in 1999 to honor his legacy and influence.
