Live UnCabaret is back… and we are still UnCabaZooming!
“A progressive comedy institution!… Live UnCabaret shows have resumed on a monthly basis at El Cid in east Hollywood. But guess what? Viewers and many of the performers weren’t ready to zoom out on the Zooms just because they could tentatively make their way into a room together again. And so, uniquely, UnCabaret is continuing with a hybrid model — live shows and online shows, each of which have their own particular pleasures and moods. In other words: They’ll continue to do sit-down, even as stand-up returns.” Chris Willman - Variety
