We will continue where we left off in June, presenting as a virtual live stream on our Facebook page (facebook.com/sccmt) from the Raymond Hood Room located in the Lower Level. Once restrictions are lifted, and we know it’s safe, we’ll reopen the doors to our live audience. So, for now, UGM will remain a virtual live stream played for an online audience only. We’ll keep you all posted as things change.

As always, there is no cover to enjoy the entertainment at Underground Mic, whether it’s in person or virtual. But, we ask that you might consider making a donation in support of the Scranton Cultural Center. If you’re a UGM regular, maybe you might consider donating the cost of your favorite beverage. If you’re new to UGM and tuning in because you’re missing the live music scene, consider making a donation in the amount of what you might pay at the door at your favorite live music venue. If you’re not in a position to make a donation, just enjoy the show!
Any amount helps and will enable us to continue offering virtual programming, like this, while we are closed due to government restrictions and once we are given the green light to welcome you safely back to our facility again.
We thank you for your consideration!

Martin Media Presents
Whose Live Anyway?

Prepare to laugh until you cry when four of the world’s most masterful improv artists take you on the high wire act of comedic acrobatics. The rapid-fire wit and non-stop jokes will have your sides splitting and begging for mercy…and also begging for more. Scranton will welcome Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops, both seen on ABC’s “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” as well as Jeff B. Davis and Joel Murray. If you are a “Whose Line?” fan, get ready for the same relentless laughter that you grew to love, but without the commercial breaks! If you are new to improv comedy, then you are in for a show unlike anything you have ever seen before. This particular style of improvisational comedy is rife with countless gags, one-liners, hilarious games and even songs so good you will hardly believe they were made up on the spot. The teamwork and trust that it takes to perform a show with no script is apparent, but when the best of the best do it, they do it effortlessly. Watch them build entire scenes, characters, and storylines right before your eyes as they take you on a white-knuckle ride through endless chuckles. Ryan Stiles’ television credits include roles on “The Drew Carey Show” and “Two and a Half Men,” while Greg Proops has lent his vocal talents to animated characters in Star Wars: Episode 1,The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Brother Bear. However, both got their start as comedians and are excited to return to their funny-bone-tickling roots. Jeff B. Davis is also a highly experienced improv comedian and starred in the cult classic cartoon series, “Harmon quest.” He has also starred in “Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show” and “Improv-a-Ganza,” while gaining fame for his spot-on impressions of Christoper Walken, Keanu Reeves, and Jeff Goldblum. Joel Murray is the youngest of the nine Murray brothers, including Bill Murray, but has become a star in his own right. Though he has over 250 sitcom appearances, he is best known for his recurring roles like Freddy Rumsen on “Mad Men” and Eddie Jackson on “Shameless.” He has also appeared in One Crazy Summer, The Artist, Scrooged, and Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America..
