On Friday, November 18th at 7:30pm, The Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre presents Simon's Street, a $5 puppet sketch comedy show written by Matt Gehring and Marina Tempelsman (UCB Maude Night). Featuring Nicole Silverberg (Reductress), Alex Song (Girl Code, Comedy Knockout), Matt Gehring (Louie, Netflix The Characters), Branson Reese (Magnet, illustrator: How May We Hate You), Temesgen Tocruray (Room 4), Addie Weyrich and Michael Delisle. Directed by Kevin Laibson (City Hall Sketch Comedy, Magic Futurebox)

Simon's Street is one of the newest shows at the UCB coming straight out the gate with a narrative structure and puppets. The story is: Simon is just like the show host from Blue's Clues -- except when the camera stops, he still lives in his puppet world. His best friend is a drunk goose and his landlord is a bog monster, and -- shit, it's time for him to pay rent! Will he be able to make ends meet, or does Simon need a refresher on the lessons of responsibility he teaches his viewers?

Puppets. Comedy. More puppets.
