    About MAUDE NIGHT: Fridge Magnet & First Wife

    MAUDE NIGHT: Fridge Magnet & First Wife is a live comedy program currently running at UCB Theatre, pairing the distinct sensibilities of the groups Fridge Magnet and First Wife on the same bill. The show moves through short-form and character-driven scenes that test how quickly a room can agree on reality, then let it fracture. In a city where UCB has long served as a proving ground for new comedic ensembles, the format reads as a small record of how New York comedy keeps renewing itself. The strongest moments come when the performers treat absurdity as observation rather than escape.
