The Sit Down and Shut Up NYPD Variety Hour
Hey you! Officers Joey, Patty, and Davey aren't your regular everyday NYPD cops. They're friggin hilarious! And they're sick of all these be-glassed, scruffy comedian types getting all the accolades. So they kindly, but firmly asked the UCB Theatre to let them put their own comedy show up, and up is where it's gonna go.
So come to the UCB Theatre for the Sit Down and Shut UP NYPD Variety Hour. Or to put it another way, you're gonna come and you're gonna like it! You get me?
Starring Dan Black, Beth Appel, Shaun Diston, Kate Riley, Paul Welsh, Laura Wilcox and Rob Stern
Written by Adam Levy, Conor Izzett,
and Darren Nelson
Original Music by Ben Krauss
Directed by Adam Conover
"A slick combination of comedy and tragedy, offering a sharp, refreshing perspective...the writers and cast successfully tap into the true spirit of the American narrative: chasing down a dream that will never be arrested."

The Paul Downs Syndrome
The Paul Downs Syndrome is a disease characterized by: seemingly unrelated or meaningless episodes of multiple personalities, bizarre delusion, and general perversion, suggesting a deranged mind. It is highly contagious.
Created and Performed by Paul W. Downs
Written by Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello
Directed by Lucia Aniello
"With tight writing and celebrity cameos, superb character actor Paul Downs takes the audience through a labyrinth of narcissistic and neurotic personalities...Nothing will stop them from succeeding. The same could be said for Downs."
- Time Out New York
"Like Julia Child doing Don Corleone...flirty and distracted."
- Lauren Collins, The New Yorker
"Paul Downs is an irresistible performer to watch onstage...so to isolate Downs in his one-man show, "The Paul Downs Syndrome," is to isolate his comedic mind and to display it in full, vibrant color for better or worse."
-
The Apiary
"So whether you get to see any of this wild and crazy stuff on the boob tube may be just a matter of when and where...because I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of Paul W. Downs."
-
The Comic's Comic
"Downs exhibited endless, contagious energy throughout the show, not to mention superb command of his material. This is no easy feat for a one-man act, but when you are funny and versatile, it’s hard to flop."
