Show Notes

Upright Citizens Brigade — the world-renowned comedy group — just opened a full-scale training center in Pittsburgh, in partnership with Bottlerocket Social Hall. It's UCB’s first location outside New York and LA, which has us asking whether the Steel City is the next big comedy hotspot. We're taking the question to Chris Copen, partner and owner at Bottlerocket. He explains how Pittsburgh became a destination for big name comedians and why UCB decided our city was the perfect place to expand.
