Fish Rap Live!
Give someone a fish and they'll eat for a day...

Give support to Fish Rap Live! and you'll get humorous and creative content for the whole year! We are a UCSC student-run satire newspaper that aims to publish bi-quarterly. As a campus publication, we provide a spotlight for passionate writers and give them a chance to have their comedy read by more than just friends and family. Having a platform inspires writers and artists to keep honing their craft and gives them the motivation to keep making others laugh. 


Fish Rap Live! was founded in 1985. For 38 years, we have continued to publish satirical headlines, articles, comics, and quizzes. We tackle not only funny and off-beat ideas, but also serious campus issues and news through a humorous lens. Satire has long been one of the creative world’s greatest tools in fighting political injustice and we hope to continue its legacy on our campus.


Your donation helps us cover the costs of printing. Currently, we print 2,000 copies of each issue and distribute them to students all around campus. Many people look forward to seeing our papers in libraries, cafes, and improbably bizarre places across campus. Your support is immensely appreciated and will continue to bring smiles and laughs to our school.
