Since When is College Funny?
College teams compete at all kinds of sports and intellectual pursuits, a comedy?
Yes, at humor.
And here’s your chance to see some of the funniest college students from eight universities around the Washington, DC area. Since the beginning of year, The DC Improv comedy club, has been hosting stand-up comedy competitions at several universities around the area.
The competitions allowed eight to ten wanna-be comedians to compete by performing a five minute original comedy routine, in front of a panel of judges and their peers.
One or two students per school was selected to compete in the finals, and now has a chance to win a paid job, hosting at The DC Improv.
In its fifth year, the first two years were won by Georgetown students. In 2006, Howard University took the prize, and last year a George Mason University student was voted funniest.
The 11 comedians that are competing hail from:
- American University
- George Washington University
- University of Maryland, College Park
- Johns Hopkins University
- George Mason University
- Georgetown University
- University of West Virginia
- University of Maryland Baltimore County
