If you believe their story, the members of Pangea 3000 foresaw the end of the world many years in advance, fled in a hot air balloon, and have now returned to this strange new world--which they have dubbed "Pangea 3000"--to explore and report on their findings.

If that doesn't make you want to check out their upcoming run at the UCB, perhaps you should peruse the ad copy they've prepared for the show, which is equally hilarious:

Hey, have you ever heard of this band called The Beatles? I think you in particular would really enjoy them. We'll make you a mix tape if you want. Oh! And if you like The Beatles, you're really going to like this sketch comedy group, Pangea 3000. They're pretty similar. They both have four or more members, and are from England or America. Both groups have either performed on The Ed Sullivan Show or at the Toronto and San Francisco Sketch Fests as well as the New York and D.C. Comedy Festivals. Members of both groups are either known as writers of timeless hit songs or as writers for The Onion, the Onion News Network, and McSweeney's. Only one of these two groups will be performing at the UCB!

Unless I have missed a major news item, the group performing at UCB is Pangea 3000, and you should be sure to check them out. Don't be disappointed that it's not the Beatles performing; I've got a new favorite music group for you. Here's the Brain Bustin' Beat Boyz...
