Pig: A Restaurant Makes its Los Angeles Debut At The UCB Theatre 1/26

Pig: A Restaurant makes its Los Angeles debut at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (5919 Franklin Ave) at 8pm on Thursday, January 26. Writer Leila Cohan-Miccio (a former editor of restaurant blog Grub Street) and star Lauren Conlin Adams (who’s waited tables at top restaurants like Pure Food & Wine, Balthazar, and DB Bistro Moderne) have harnessed their backgrounds in the food industry to create a solo show that lampoons everything from celebrity chef culture to ultra-locavorism.

Pig: A Restaurant has been playing in New York. In Los Angeles, Pig: A Restaurant will be performed at 8pm on Thursday, January 26 and 7pm on Thursday, February 2.

Tickets are $5, which includes admission to both Pig: A Restaurant and Mike Still: Dictator for Life. Reservations may be made here.

Pig: A Restaurant stars Lauren Conlin Adams. Currently seen each month with Friars’ Club Sketch Competition winners Onassis, Lauren has performed at UCB with improvised movie Oscarbait and former house team Slow Burn. She has worked in New York with the Prospect Theater Company and regionally with The B Street Theatre, Foothill Theatre Company, Lakes Region Summer Theatre (RIP) and The Children's Theatre of California. Writer Leila Cohan-Miccio is the co-creator/writer of Vag Magazine, a web comedy that goes behind the scenes of a hipster third-wave feminist magazine.
