About

Upright Citizens Brigade’s Franklin Avenue theater is an intimate 95-seat black box known for improv and sketch shows like ASSSSCAT and house-team nights, with alumni frequently seen on TV and podcasts. The Los Angeles outpost opened in 2005 at 5919 Franklin Avenue and remains the brand’s LA stage after the separate Sunset Boulevard complex closed in 2020. Set in Franklin Village near cafes and bars, it draws comedy fans for nightly performances in a tight, energetic room.
