From Friday July 27th through Sunday July 29th, New York’s Upright Citizens Brigade presents the 9th Annual Del Close Marathon. What does this mean? It means that the best improv comedy groups from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Phoenix, Austin, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Ontario, St. Louis, Toronto, and more, will perform non-stop for three days on one of three stages. That’s over 150 shows in one weekend.
About Del Close:
Del Close was the driving force behind improvisational comedy in Chicago for over 30 years influencing Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Mike Myers, John Belushi, Chris Farley and the Upright Citizens Brigade to name a few. After Del’s passing in 1999, the UCB started the Del Close Marathon to celebrate their mentor and keep alive his name and teachings for future generations.
