When the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) adds comedy as a team sport, Washington University’s Kids On Campus is a sure bet to be crowned the #1 seed in collegiate humor. In a rollicking two-hour show Saturday night at the Village Black Box Theater, the cast and crew slayed the packed house with a freight train performance of sketches and filmed parodies accompanied by the eccentric funked-up energy of the KOC Band.  

The scene is set: it’s Thanksgiving, and the whole family has gathered to celebrate and enjoy a nice meal. The food looks delicious, Grandma is happy to see everyone, and someone is wearing a really silly straw hat — what could possibly go wrong?

There are plenty of venues in the city that host open mics that you can check out and use to expand your audience.

Sketch comedy isn’t my thing, but after giving “Astronomy Club” a chance I found a show that had me laughing in a way that I thought a sketch comedy show never would.

It is a film screening, a comedy show and so much more.

Rhea Butcher is a Los Angeles-based comedian from outside Cleveland, Ohio. They have appeared on Adam Ruins Everything, Comedy Central, Conan and more. I spoke with Butcher about baseball, softball and, of course, jokes.

This past Thursday, April 4, comedian Ken Jeong, known for roles like Ben Chang on “Community” and Mr. Chow from the Hangover movies, came to Washington University for Social Programming Board’s Spring Comedy Show.

Cast N’ Crew performed their final show of the semester, “Unnecessary Farce,” this weekend, April 4-7. The show ran with five performances from Thursday to Sunday, and I was lucky enough to attend Thursday night’s show.

Brilliant stand-up comedian Ryan Hamilton is coming to St. Louis Jan. 24-26 at Helium Comedy Club, just 10 minutes from campus.

When a line starts forming two hours before doors open for a show, it’s obvious that the show is something worth waiting for.
