"If you think that pro wrestling—with it's soap opera story arcs, fake moves and silly costumes—couldn't be funnier or more ridiculous than it already is, watch it get mocked by these UCBT performers."
—Time Out New York

"The WWE is pretty hilarious on its own, but the UCB Theatre’s wrestling federation, the UCBW, pays such good attention to the details of the genre, it feels less like a satirical mockery and more of a hyper-hilarious homage to the dramatic sport. It’s impossible not to get caught up in their hysteria."
—New York Press

"The price of admission gets you a whole seat, but you only need the edge."
—Flavorpill

"These guys (and girls) pay tribute to the pro-wrestling they love with their hybrid of comedy/wrestling and super-ridiculous ringside commentary - so many talented performers, and an incredibly supportive crowd!"
—Wrestling Legend, Standup Comedian & Bestselling Author Mick Foley

"These top-notch improv comics are really hilarious, and totally respectful. These guys take us fans seriously enough to just let us be little kids again."
—David Shoemaker (The Masked Man), Deadspin & Grantland

A loving tribute from our fantastic official referee. Don’t miss this week’s episode of CageMatch to catch Robot Riley as you’ve never seen him before! robotriley: I’d like to say some things about Cage Match. Two years ago, my Improv 101 class took place on Thursdays from 7 to 10. It took only a couple of weeks for me to become obsessed with Cage Match. Walking straight to UCB after class became an essential ritual. It is consistently the improv show at UCB that I see the most fun being had by not just the audience, but the performers. I love that energy. I love the wrestling portion of the show. I used to go crazy in my seat when Uncle Eddie or Wall $treet would come out and rant. I felt like I was part of the UCBW universe when all I was really doing was acting like a lunatic in the front row. It means a lot to me that over time they chose to embrace my enthusiasm. And then to be brought in as the referee was a huge honor. It still is! I love putting on the jersey and thinking about how just two years ago I wanted so badly to be a part of this show. And now tomorrow, I meet another Cage Match milestone. My indie team Boy Butter is competing in the improv division. We will be facing off against the cabal of improv guru/juggernauts The Curfew. The outcome doesn’t mean much to me. I know what we’re up against. But God damn it, this will be fun. And I want you to be there. Tickets are still available!
