    About This Event

    John Lutz appears at the UCB Theatre in Improv 2 Square, performing a two-person set with Peter Grosz. Lutz is known for his deadpan work on 30 Rock and for seasons writing for Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Seth Meyers; his comedy favors sketch-bred precision and scene-oriented construction over confessional riffing.

    About Improv 2 Square

    At UCB Theatre, *Improv 2 Square* pairs John Lutz with Peter Grosz for a two-person improv set built in real time. Lutz brings a dry, controlled sensibility shaped by his on-camera work on *30 Rock* and years writing for *Saturday Night Live* and *Late Night with Seth Meyers*. The format foregrounds structure: scenes are assembled, revised, and discarded in front of the audience. In New York’s long-running improv ecosystem, it reads as a case study in how sketch discipline can sharpen spontaneous work.
