Sasheer Zamata, Shannon Coffey and More Set for July DOWNTOWN VARIETY HOUR at UCB East

Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour is returning to UCB Theatre East Village on Monday, July 3, once again at its new time, 7:30PM.

Host Nat Towsen (VICE, Nickelodeon) combines the disappearing, eclectic lower Manhattan culture in which he grew up (around the corner from the theatre, in fact) with interviews, informative presentations, and the best of the NYC comedy scene.

The show features native luminaries as well as a few welcome New York transplants.

This month's Downtown Variety features comedy by Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live, This American Life) and Shannon Coffey (VHI's The 20, MTV's Girl Code). In the monthly "Downtown History" segment, Towsen will interview from an expert in a corner of New York City history. And in "NYC Trivia," audience members can win free pizza and comics from sponsors Two Boots and Forbidden Planet with guest trivia host Becca Beberaggi (Paste Magazine).

Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour takes place at 7:30PMon Monday, July 3, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre East Village, 153 East 3 Street, Manhattan, NY 10009. Admission costs $7 and patrons of all age are welcome (those 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult). Tickets will be available in advance at bit.ly/NTDVH49.
