Lighted FoolsLighted Fools is Bryn Mawr and Haverford's premier improvisational and sketchcomedy group. Formally recognized in 1991, Lighted Fools began as an avant-gardetheater troupe performing Shakespearian soliloquies and short, original scenes.
Performing all original sketches and state-of-the-Art improv, Lighted Fools proudly serve the Haverford and Bryn Mawr communities heaping loads of the satirical,weird, and zany in the hopes that, somehow, in some way, it will bring us all a little closer to truth, meaning, and collective-actualization.By recent estimates Lighted Fools have written and performed well over 500 sketches.
Lighted Fools are also proudly apart of the burgeoning Philly Improv scene and have performed at the Dirty South ImprovFestival, Skidmore College ComedyFestival, Oberlin College Improv Conference, Delaware Improv and SketchO'Festival, and the UMass-Amherst Improv Festival.

Drexel Football Team - Drexel University
Q: If your team was a team of crime fighting superheroes, what super power would you all have and why?
A: First of all, we would be amazing at fighting crime.Almost too good, if that's possible. Our group power would probably be the ability to transform into any object.If you see a random pinball machine somewhere that kind of reminds you of a person? Yeah that's us.
Q: If your team had a theme song, what would it be and why?
A: It would be the Monday Night Football theme, because it gets us into character.
Q: If your team were an animal, what animal would you be and why?
A: Rats.Because they're musical.
Q: What is your favorite thing about doing improv?
A: The smiles and laughter and confusion we are lucky enough to put on people’s faces every show.
