UCB or PIT?

Hey guys,

I am looking to take an Improv class in NYC, and these two consistently seem to be the best options. Does anyone have any experience with either, and could recommend one over the other? Thanks!

And for those of you who don't know: UBC is Upright Citizens Brigade and PIT is People's Improv Theatre.

I've been trying to get into a particular Improv class with a particular teacher at UCB for ages. I hear he's amazing though.

I've done three levels of UCB, and I recommend it. I don't know much about PIT, so honestly I might not be that helpful. But I really have enjoyed taking classes at UCB. There's even a class called Improv for Actors, if that's applicable to you.

You also could go to a couple of shows at each place to see what they are like. That might make choosing a little bit easier. I know UCB shows are cheap too. Only about $5-$10. I went to one once, and it was extremely funny.

That's a good idea. I've been more so leaning towards UCB, so we'll see what happens. I'm actually majoring in acting, so I think the Improv for Actors class would be helpful.

I've been to many, many improv shows at UCB and the talent there is FANTASTIC.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to ASSSSCAT 3000 tonight.
