We're not sure on the hows, whys are wheres of this, but the original members of The Upright Citizens Brigade will be reuniting for "The Greatest Improv Show Ever" this weekend. Well, that's the title of it, anyhow. High noon Saturday in Solvang, Calif. Solvang? Sure, why not Solvang. UCB co-founder/player Matt Walsh asked overnight via Twitter: "Why isn't all of America talking about this?" Maybe it's because your "Ultimate Comedy Bash" is in Solvang?! Just maybe.
The bash kicks off on Friday with a "Fresh Faces" show hosted by Paul F. Tompkins and also features "The Greatest Comedy Show Ever" on Saturday afternoon. I'd tell you more, but you can see it's all printed up nice and colorful already! Click on the image to enlarge it. TWSS.
This sounds great! Just wanted to clarify, the original cast of the Upright Citizens Brigade was Matt Besser, Ali Farahnakian, Drew Franklin, Adam McKay, Ian Roberts, Rick Roman, and Horatio Sanz.
FYI, here’s a full recap of the event with pictures. Includes a few words from Matt Besser about why they decided to hold it in Solvang.

Sounds like it could become an annual event for the UCB LA!
