UnCabaret is a legendary comedy innovator largely responsible for the revolution in alt comedy. It's a place for wildly fun, idiosyncratic, intimate, conversational comedy, where comedy luminaries share the stories ripped from the headlines of their own lives. Always different, and always about the now. UnCabaret has been breaking ground in comedy for 25 years live and on Amazon, Sirius and Comedy Central.

Why the Un? Unhomophobic, unxenophobic, unmysogynistic. Unhacky.
