    About This Event

    At the UCB Theatre, Half-Orphan shares a bill with Bad Magicians for a late-night improv show. Half-Orphan, a regular presence in New York City's improv and sketch scene, builds scenes through tight group listening and quick structural turns, often treating pop-culture frameworks as material rather than punchlines; their work favors clear premises and disciplined pacing and includes recurring collaborations with David Bluvband.
