LIVE REVIEW: UCB Touring Co.

Logo
Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company
Miracle Theater

Led by Eli Newell, raised in Lake Oswego, this five-man team cracked ribs while cracking jokes for half-hour sets. Launching off from the single suggestion of "stop smoking," they ran through a series of scenes including doctors who color their x-rays and a guy with a major staring problem--they even went back in time. All the scenes flowed together smoothly, and each one was full of great energy and crazy characters.

Some shows leave you wanting more; others make you say, "Thank God it's over." This show gave you exactly what you needed, no more and no less.
