Update for you!

Cagematch still hasn't stopped rocking and here is your update to prove it!

October 7th
Killer featuring Chuck Ford hit the stage. Chuck Ford a Hollywood Bowl enthusiast and improv historian wasn't a spectator this week whatsoever, he was on stage and challenger on new cagematch champion Jamboree going for their third win! Jamboree had a special guest Charlie Sanders stepping in for Ben Schwartz who wasn't there this Wednesday. Killer killed with their set and then Jamboree came on and did a monoscene, blowing improv doors off their hinges. When the vote arrived officially sealed, Jamboree would return as champions one more week.

October 14th
Magic was a brewing this week with Wizard St. Cloud, with former cagematch host Will McLaughlin in the audience it was like old times, except this time magic would be happening. Would their magical spells and potions be enough to stop the mighty train known as Jamboree? With Ben back in the saddle they would have to come out swinging and swinging they did like little kids having a great old time! The audience even determined that their scene that took place at In-n-Out was good enough to be granted cagematch winners!

October 21th
Are you ready for your worse Pudmare? Well our challengers, Pudmare were ready to give you one. Would Jamboree be ready? Jamboree, notorious for winning the coin toss, won the toss again choosing to go second. In a two person vs two person team, each team would build a foundation for improv to be built upon and judged. Judge is exactly what the audience did an gave the crown of championship to Jamboree.

On October 28th Jamboree will have to face a sci-fi fantasy when they square off against Slave Leia! Make your reservations today!

When improv team Gina Gershon fell down some stairs it was up to all of theatre teckies to join forces and to do a show that might possibly take down the newly crowned champions, Jamboree. The Teckies took the stage and did a very funny show. Jamboree went on after them to an amazing show. The audience voted and Jamboree will return for another week as UCB Cagematch Champions.

In each show described above, cagematch host Harrison Brown, paraded himself around the stage like a complete jackass, thinking he was in marching band, looking for Waldo, and bringing the show to complete haltering stop with his jokes.

October 7th, 2009

One day in the future from right now, Jamboree will have to Killer. The team Killer features a cagematch legend, some might call a cagematch historian, some might call the guy who gets up during the middle of shows, some might call the guy who drinks diet coke, this man is known to us as Chuck! Chuck will be at cagematch, but not to spectate, but compete for the toughest improv title in town! Make your reservation now.

The Smokes are Blue

Ladies and Gentlemen filled into the seats as two amazing improv teams got ready to hit the big leagues on the UCB stage. Returning champions "The Smokes" have had the title for one week, but their Challengers "Blue" were going to put up a fierce battle against the new champions. Their fate would be determined in a 20 min improv battle to the death. The death panels aka the audience has been assembled, it was show time.

After losing the coin toss Blue would be up first. Blue is made of a tripod of people, three to be exact. Blue was ready for a fight and fight they did. They even used their timeout, which has not been used in many months, during their timeout, Jake Regal decide to take his pants off in order to cool down the hot stage. The time quickly came to an end.

During the halt time switch, the very popular half time game "Where's Waldo" made a triumphant return as Harrison scanned the audience look for exiled Waldo.

The Smokes hit the stage and pulled out their form for the night called "Sleepover" from a bucket. Starting in a sleep over they improvised til their hearts stoo. With a combined total of 7 members they made improv look easy. Would The Smokes be looking at win number 2 or would they be packing their bags, it would be up to luggage department aka the audience.

With buzzer buzzed on both teams, it meant it was time for the audience to go to the polls and vote aka tear a piece of paper and put it in a bucket. After all votes were counted, The Smokes were declared UCB Cagematch champs for the second week in a room.

Next week The Smokes will face Bay Bay, be sure to make your reservation for next Wednesday at the UCB Cagematch.

Also The Smokes will be doing a show at UCB this Saturday at 10pm, make your reservations here.

Pouffff a new Champion!

The streams were raging, the fires were burning, and eagles were soaring, the perfect conditions for a cagematch. Benderdangle on a hot streak, but would it be enough to stop the ole mighty challengers, The Smokes? Only time would tell and that time would 20 minutes a piece in the squared circle.

The Smokes went first, which is nothing new to them, they are usually the first on the stage on Monday nights at UCB. They know how to get a crowd going. They allowed the audience to pick the form they would be doing. the audience filled out ballots ahead of time and The Smokes picked it on stage. "Three Davids" is what they picked and "three david" is what the audience got! The buzzer ended their twenty min "three david" set.

Then it was time for Benderdangle to hit the stage and do what they do best... improv! Playing like they normally do Benderdangle was hitting hard that night. Tonight they were facing some of their toughest competition yet and would they be able to beat their challengers only the audience would be able to determine that.

... and determine that they did. So after two teams the audience voted and that night they voted for a new winner, The Smokes.

The Smokes will be back this Wednesday versus Blue, which will be just as tough of match as this one was. It's anyone's game now!

Make your reservations here for Cagematch this week. If the show is sold-out, no worries get your name on the waitlist and there is a very good chance you will be able to get in. So be there!

Benderdangle Times Three!

On Wednesday it's Cagematch and this week we had a battle out of this world! Returning Champions Benderdangle would be up against some tough competition from this week's challenger, Dope Times Three. The most interesting thing about the Dope Times Three is their original name was Dope and then they times it by three only to become more powerful. Well after the teams met each other it was times for both teams to put their dukes up cause it was fightin time.

Dope Times Three would have to prove themselves first, after winning the coin toss and choosing to go first. DTT hit that stage like a horse right out of the gates. They even had a little jockey on top them that's how much they were like a horse right out of the gate. They had the crowd laughing a long and not only did DTT make them laugh, they cared for the audience. Colton Dunn stopped the show to ask a few ladies what was up and he discovered they were on girl's night out! After their 20mins it was more like Dope Times Three night out.

The current champs Benderdangle (4-0) were playing for their 5th win, that's half of ten and one twentieth of a hundred. Although they didn't solve any audience member's problem, they did bring and delivery a very memorable Cagematch. They got the audience on board the laugh train early on. Benderdangle continued to slam it until the last second of their show.

Then the polls opened, there was no free coffee, no "I voted" stickers, no ID required, just the ballot the audience received as they walked into the theatre. Once they voted, the ballot were counted and a winner was determined. Next week Benderdangle (5-0) will be returning again to face a challenger.

Next week "The Smokes" will be the challengers and they are ready for a duel with Benderdangle. Make your reservation today for Wednesday! See you on Wednesday!
