And they're expanding their footprint on this corridor of 14th Street (aka, IHOP Way!) — the empty retail space across the street now has the UCB branding on the front door...
Greg Goldberg, senior director at Meridian Retail Leasing, confirmed that UCB will use this space for comedy classes. (We reached out to UCB as well. Updated: UCB confirmed the usage for training as well!)
The address, 239 E. 14th St., has been vacant ever since the 7-Eleven here closed in December 2021.
This new theater space marks a return for the comedy brand. Amid ongoing financial difficulties made worse by the start of the pandemic, UCB closed all its remaining NYC locations in April 2020.

Comedy skills? I flunked out of comedy school back in the day. I don't remember the year, but I do remember the century... 22nd. When did you flunk out?
