The ASUNM Student Special Events committee brought members of the UCB to the SUB Wednesday night. Comedy? — pronounced “comedy question mark” — opened for UCB at the event. Members of Comedy? performed skits based on ideas from the audience. According to their website, the UCB Touring Company handpicks improv comedians from its theaters in New York City and Los Angeles and then sends them on tour to venues nationwide. UCB’s shows last about 90 minutes and consist of two sections of long-form improv. UCB took audience members for a short interview on stage and asked questions about their degree and about their home upbringing. After the interview, the three women from UCB performed skits based on the interview. For the second half of the show, UCB solicited text messages from audience members to use in their next series of skits.
