BWW Previews: THE DEAD DADS CLUB at UCB in NYC, 2/25

The Dead Dads Club comedy show will be at Upright Citizens Brigade in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City on Wednesday, February 25th and Friday, March 6th. More dates will be announced soon.

The Dead Dads Club stars Kristen Bartlett and Jason Gore, both founding members of the sketch group Bridge & Tunnel, which was an official selection of New York City Sketch Festival, Boston Comedy Arts Festival, and Montreal Sketchfest, where they won Best Newcomer and Audience Choice. Their webseries Poor Comedians in a Car Getting Coffee was featured on The Comic's Comic and The Comedy Bureau.

The Dead Dads Club is a bittersweet sketch comedy show about losing a parent. Written by Kristen Bartlett, it is a sketch show inspired by true events. In 2010, Bartlett and her husband Jason Gore lost their dads within months of each other. Together, they formed The Dead Dads Club, an unstoppable grief-fighting force that, while often tough, occasionally falls apart when Big Fish is on HBO.

The Dead Dads Club also features a talented supporting cast including Michael Hartney (30 Rock, So I Like Superman: A One-Nerd Show), Douglas Widick (North Coast), Eliza Kingsbury (Dom and Tamantha), Boris Khaykin (College Humor), Will Gallagher (Bridge & Tunnel), Liisa Murray (The Blasto Podcast Network), and Justin Byrne (Rewrite Movie Night). The show is directed by Michael Hartney.
