ASSSSCAT is UCB’s signature improv show, playing to critical acclaim and sold-out audiences across the country. DCM ’26 now brings an all-Black ensemble to one of the longest-running improv shows in the world. A group of improv comedians from film & TV take the stage with a special guest monologist. After getting a suggestion from the audience, the monologist shares off-the-cuff thoughts, feelings, and true stories. The improvisers then spin that monologue into a series of scenes that have made ASSSSCAT a legend. Filmed live at the 2026 Del Close Marathon.
