Coming up next week: "Scrolling Ticker," my first show at UCB Theater. It's a standup show with a newfangled twist...Details:
SCROLLING TICKER WITH MATT RUBY
Standup comedy with live running commentary on the big screen! I invite a couple of funny comics to the UCB stage and type live color commentary while they perform. The result is lots of riffing, awkward/funny moments, and a unique night of standup.
Thursday, March 20 At 6:30 PM
UCB Theater ("The hippest of New York's comedy rooms." -Salon.com)
307 W. 26th Street
Tickets: $5 (reserve now)
Featuring:
ROB CANTRELL
CBS Late Late Show, Marijuana-Logues, Last Comic Standing finalist in season one.

Also on the show (pre-"Scrolling Ticker"): ULTIMATE ROOMMATES
And the next Flying Carpet is Tuesday, April 1 (no foolin') at 9:45 PM at Rififi. More details on that later.
