I’m glad that as I’ve gotten older my comedy tastes have matured and improved because when I was a kid I did not get The Upright Citizens Brigade. Now though, I can’t get enough of them. And it seems like a lot of people feel the same way with the surging popularities of the UCB Theaters in New York and LA.
All of this UCB rediscovery led me to MARTIN & ORLOFF, a little movie written by Matt Walsh and Ian Roberts. It’s fun and absurd and filled with appearances from current comedy stars like Jon Benjamin and Tina Fey.
And it’s got a special appearance from once and future Full Blooded Italian, Big Sal E. Graziano.

This movie seems to be all-over-the-place for a lot of comedy nerds, but I think it's on the long track to be a cult gem one day. To date, it gets closer to capturing the dark, anarchic vibe of UCB than any of their other film work.

Classic UCB. Dark, uncomfortable and hilarious.

Very funny dark and surreal comedy about a man whose failed suicide attempt leads him to seek guidance from a charmingly deranged psychiatrist.
Consistently hilarious and a great cast, with Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh of Upright Citizen's Brigade starring and a bunch of supporting roles and cameos from Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Richter and more.
