Del Close Marathon Will Be Moving to LA in 2019

For two decades, a literally non-stop weekend of improv comedy madness known as the Del Close Marathon has brought joy to the NYC comedy scene.

After marking a milestone by having the UCB 4 play at Carnegie Hall this year, UCB Sunset and UCB Franklin here in LA will be the home bases for DCM in 2019 and onward.

Personally, we can’t wait as that means many of the world’s best improv teams that rarely get to perform in LA will be making an annual trek here. Keep a close eye for tickets/passes going on sale.

If you’re planning on going (and we hope that you would be) get your tickets and passes ASAP.
