Comedians from the Upright Citizen Brigade Theatre in New York have joined the countless others with their latest contribution to sex columnist Dan Savage's "It Gets Better Project."

The video features Broadway star Jeff Hiller of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, and Onion News Network writer Chris Kelly, as well as Animal Planet show Pet-O-Rama host Tim Dunn. The video also features Jeff Marx, Michael Martin, Michael Hartney, and other students and performers at the UCB Theatre NY.
