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.
Kids on Campus, Washington University’s sketch comedy group, had their semesterly show in the Village Black Box March 3 and 4. Audiences were treated to 15 sketches, making for an hour and a half of comedic ingenuity.
When a line starts forming two hours before doors open for a show, it’s obvious that the show is something worth waiting for.
I walked into the Village Black Box for the Kids On Campus show and was hit by a wave of energy that would last throughout the night. As the crowd found their seats, the six musicians of the house band played loud, funky music.
If you have not heard of Kids On Campus yet, let this be your first introduction, but certainly not your last. This year-old sketch comedy group formed last fall and has already made a name for itself in the Wash. U. performing arts community, bringing together writers, actors and musicians to put on a sketch show each semester.
