The Holdup is a long-form Los Angeles improv group made up of real-life friends who met at the University of Southern California, where they performed in three competitive, and occasionally collaborative, improv groups on campus - Second Nature, The Merry Men, and Commedus Interruptus. The Holdup won the illustrious UCB Cagematch for twelve consecutive weeks and have been featured in other Upright Citizens Brigade shows such as Crashbar: Best of LA Indie Improv, Let's Party, and The Holdup + The Smokes. They've also performed at iO West, Second City, The Clubhouse, New York City's Del Close Marathon, the Out of Bounds festival in Austin, and Sonoma Laughfest.
