A story about Amy Poehler
I met her at a revival screening for Wet Hot American Summer in 2003 and also at a performance of “Soundtracks Live: Pretty in Pink” at the UCB Theater in NYC. She was very nice.

Amy Poehler was first involved with sketch comedy when she joined the group “My Mother’s Flea Bag” when she was attending Boston College. In 1993 she went to Chicago where she studied at the Second City and Improv Olympics. There she met Del Close, who later became the voice of the “UCB” opening scene. In 1996 she joined the Upright Citizen’s Brigade with Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. Later on the group moved to New York and became a Comedy Central show. The show went on only for three seasons. However, the group stayed together at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater. Today the theater is one of the leading centers for improv and sketch shows.
