All Time UCB Cagematch Champs Hebecky Drysbell Will End Their 78-0 Run Undefeated

Before you get worried about catching Hebecky Drysbell once more, know that they’re getting their own recurring show at UCB here in LA.

For 78 weeks, Heather Anne Campbell and Rebecca Drysdale, otherwise known as Hebecky Drysbell, put on a clinic of long form improv that was consistently brilliant and innovative with a dash of the right bit of mischief. It’s why they made our year end lists.

In that time, beat all of their opponents including the previous Cagematch champion record holding team Heather & Miles that Heather was also a part of.

The UCB Cagematch tonight will feature two new challengers that will face off against each other and a special Cagematch farewell performance from Hebecky Drysbell. It should come as no surprise that tickets to the show are sold out.

Like we said earlier though, you’ll have another chance to see Heather and Rebecca together again as they’ll have a regularly scheduled show at UCB. We’ll be sure to let you know when that gets going.
