Selected Hilarity Sketch Comedy Group

Selected Hilarity began as five college students having fun. In 1990, the guys were doing stand-up comedy around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They would play anywhere that people would take them: charity shows, contests, even dormitory basements and recreation rooms.

After graduation, Selected Hilarity broke into the college market and was an immediate hit with its offbeat, high-energy style. At their very first college market showcase in Boston, they booked well over 100 shows in one day, setting a record that will likely never be broken. They started touring regularly at colleges around the country and finally quit their day jobs in the fall of 1994.

Selected Hilarity went on to play well over 500 shows in 35 different states. They were twice nominated for national college comedy act of the year, played the top comedy clubs across America, and inspired countless young comedians and troupes. Even in retirement, their reputation continues to grow.
