Improv Comedy at Duke University
Welcome to Fall 2010! The start of a new year means the start of a search for the newest members of DUI. Auditions will be held on Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of September, from 6-11pm in Brody Theater on East Campus.
To audition, sign up for a 20-minute slot at the Activities Fair on Friday, September 3rd. If for some reason you miss this, send us an email at dui@duke.edu.
See you there!

Special thanks to all of the players and coaches.
Duke University Improv has not had female members in its group in five years. (From left to right) Freshmen Robert Zaleski, Hunter Douglas, Julianne Kolb and Jess Hendin are the newly selected freshmen members of the comedy troupe.
Sorry folks, but it just had to be done. The old site was getting, well, ancient, and the old timey DUI member who created it is in a Post-Soviet country. So welcome to the new, now frequently updatable somewhat attractive bloggish, twitter-ready Duke University Improv website.
Remember that it’s Audition Time here! Don’t forget to sign up for your spot!
In honor of Saturday’s NFL Draft, enjoy this video from DUI’s Big Show 11.
BIG SHOW 10 IS TOMORROW!
THIS WEEK’S SHOWS:
*Friday, 04/06/07, TOMORROW!
Big Show 10 ? Page Auditorium, 8PM
If you see just one DUI show all year, this is it! We’ve got our off-the-cuff improv inspired by your suggestions, original sketches, and our laugh-out-loud videos. This year’s big show features campus personalities like Jon Scheyer, Brian Zoubek, Dean Sue, President Brodhead, Larry Moneta, the Keva Juice guy, and more…
-Tickets for Big Show 10 will be sold on the plaza tomorrow from 10-4 for $7, all of which is donated to the Scott Carter Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Research. Tickets will also be available at the door. Get to Page early if you want a good seat.
On to the news…
-Craig Gross, founder of the online Christian ministry, XXXChurch.com, hosted a “Porn and Pancakes” breakfast for 250 men as a way to get Christians and church officials to talk about pornography addiction over a pancake breakfast. In the Vatican City, the Pope has pledged his support, announcing he will host a breakfast in bed.
-In a related story, CNN.com reports that every second, approximately 28,258 Internet users are viewing pornography. We’ll wait…
-Former first lady Betty Ford was recovering from unspecified surgery in a hospital Thursday. However, doctors suspect that after leaving the hospital, Ford will probably only last another 5,000 miles until something else goes wrong and Brandon has to buy her a pair of brake pads and a new transmission.
-In a related story, future first lady Janice Honda Civic is looking better and better every day.
-The Food and Drug Administration announced on Thursday it has identified additional contaminated pet food products that need to be recalled — dog biscuits made by Sunshine Mills of Red Bay, Alabama. As a result, the Marketplace will have to close for two days until they can make other arrangements.
-After shooting scenes for his new movie in Tobaccoville, NC, George Clooney gave two little kids $20 for a cup of lemonade at their nearby stand. The movie being filmed was “Ocean’s 14: Like Stealing Candy from a Baby.”
-DUI wonders why CNN covered this story? I mean, aren’t there more important things going on in the news. Amazingly, the Clooney story is the 6th most popular news story on CNN.com right now. What’s number 5 you ask? “Matt Damon refutes original report: Favorite color is red.”
That wraps it up for this week’s edition of the DUI News.
Two Words: Big Show 10
See you at Big Show 10,
