Duke University Improv (DUI)
Who: Duke's best and only improv comedy troupe
Why they're a big deal: They were featured in The New York Times Magazine and Sports Illustrated blogs for an Asian parody of the viral video, "My New Haircut." Their "Asian Edition" received over two million views within the first three months. Plus, every dollar that DUI raises goes towards the Scott Carter Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Research.
Interesting Fact: DUI featured two DSG President candidates last year.
On YouTube: "My New Haircut: Asian Edition" and "Dumbledore Gimme More"
Interested? Auditions being held Sept. 3 and 4
Inside Joke (IJ)
Who: Duke's Sketch Comedy
Why they're a big deal: The rowdy group isn't afraid to make fun of administrators, tackle touchy subjects like affirmative action and have parents chug beers during shows. One of IJ's own Tim Ball even won the Rooftop National College Comedy Competition.
Interesting Fact: IJ recently took their act to the musical stage with the acapella group The Pitchforks.
On YouTube: "Planet Earth: Duke" and "Administrator Bong Session"
Interested? Auditions set for mid-Sept.
