MPZ: For 25 years UnCabaret has been a hotbed of personal storytelling that fostered the careers of iconoclastic comedy stars like Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Jeff Garlin and Patton Oswalt. A legendary LA venue for idiosyncratic, conversational comedy and arguably the very first alternative comedy show, bringing together an eclectic mix of original talent which is hosted by UnCabaret creator Beth Lapides with Musical Director, Mitch Kaplan. Unique comedy freestyling with creative risk, fast-paced, funny and thought-provoking, you never know who's gonna get on stage. Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard, Carrie Fisher and Bill Maher have popped in to try their hand. The last time I went, Max Mutchnik (Will & Grace creator) and Laura Kightlinger did an absolutely hilarious reading of their emails to each other written during the casting a new show.
