Humor Force Five is the longest-running long-form improv troupe on campus! We have been a group ever since 1989, and we were able to revive our club after a dip during the pandemic. In our troupe, we strive to be the silliest and longest form of comedy on campus.
This Spring Give, we're hoping to raise $500! Your contributions will help us to:
Pay for national and state competitions. We want to take our improvisation to places far beyond Hwy. 17 in order to have a more well-rounded experience as college comedians.
Get to those competitions. Humor Force Fivers, like most comedians in college, have limited access to greater means of transportation as well as making ends meet when it comes to having enough funds for each and every team member to make it to our competitions.
Create, which means for us to host workshops. We have plans in the works for providing the general student population (as well as the Santa Cruz general public) a showcase of the knowledge we have of the form, and this requires a decent venue to do so. On top of that, we have connections with people in the business professionally who we would love to bring in with their expertise on what it means to improv (all at a price of course, they're professionals!).
Humor Force Five aims to bring joy to those in and around our group by showing how enjoyable it is to let loose outside of our strenuous and difficult times in life.
We hope to bring a smile to your face from our performances, whether you're in the troupe or in the audience!
