For years, a group called the Upright Citizens Brigade has labored to make ASSSSCAT one of the top improvisational shows in the world. This DVD features the group at work live on March 2007 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Hollywood, Cailf. It’s a mixed bag. Some of the comedy is laugh-out-loud hilarious, if you’re familiar with the performers’ references. Other parts of the show have a ho-hum intensity, though. The Brigade is a rather zany quartet, consisting of Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh, joined by several collaborators who are quite creative. So is it worth buying? If you enjoyed the Brigade’s popular TV show, yes. If not, you’re taking your chances.
