Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour Returns To UCB Theatre East

Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour is back at UCB Theatre East Village on Monday, February 4 at a slightly earlier time 7 PM with the an all-star comedy lineup! 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 edition of Downtown Variety will be the last at UCB East Village theater before it closes its doors forever next week. Our epic series finale will feature comedy by Myq Kaplan (The Tonight Show, Late Show, CONAN, and all the rest, Comedy Central Presents, Broccoli & Ice Cream podcast), and a very special super secret standup guest (we want to tell you, but we promised we

wouldn't), and even more surprise guests. In the monthly Downtown History segment, Towsen will interview a local luminary Reverend Jen, the curator of the Lower East Side Troll Museum. And in NYC Trivia, audience members can win free pizza and comics from sponsors Two Boots and Forbidden Planet.

Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour takes place at 7 PM on Monday, February 4, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre East Village, 153 East 3 Street, Manhattan, NY 10009. Admission costs $9 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/NTDVH68
