Paid in Vibes
Last week a debate erupted in the US comedy community
between stand-up comedians (like
Kurt Metzger
and
Mike Lawrence
) and the
Upright Citizens Brigade Theater
about the fact that at
none of their three theaters pay any of their performers
(including
UCBEast in New York, which often has Saturday Night Stand-up shows
). Other comics such as
Chris Gethard
eloquently
came to their defense
. This week two of the founders Matt Besser and Matt Walsh released an episode of Besser's pocast
Improv for Humans
that goes into details about the club's philosophy,
including why they have never taken any money from founding and running the theater
.

Drone music, sorta
Throughout time immemorial, songs of patriotism, such as Darryl Worley's "
Have You Forgotten?
" are a staple of countries at war. Our ballads root for our soldiers to come back safe and sound to families and sweethearts, but who sings the tale about the
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
, the autonomous drone that pines for the vending machine it left at home?
Only the evil ghost of Johnny Cash does.

Troll 2
Ever seen Troll 2?
This movie is consistently in the top 5 on
IMDB's Worst Films Ever list
and is currently #1. There was a
UCB
screening for it in New York
last week, and apparently it is starting to gain a pretty loyal and huge following.
