It’s the home stretch, folks. Only a couple of weeks until finals are over, chestnuts are roasting, and little siblings are distraught with realizations about fictional characters. Check out what goodness DUI has on offer to help get you through the end-of-semester slog.

Upcoming Shows

Ongoing things that aren’t shows
T-Shirts
A big seller at our Parents’ Weekend show, and now for the first time on American Apparel T’s! We have both Navy and White, each just $10. If you would like a shirt, please email us at dui@duke.edu.
Workshops
As well as performing improv comedy shows, DUI also runs workshops that teach improv concepts and skills. These interactive, entertaining workshops are great for team building, improving communication and interview skills. Workshops last around an hour, and we offer discount rates for student groups. Email us at dui@duke.edu if you would like to discuss what we can do for you.
News Jokes

Candidate Rick Perry (R) has won an endorsement from tough anti-immigration Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known for bragging about how he humiliates his male prisoners by forcing them to wear pink underwear.

Congress voted last week to officially designate the tomato paste in pizza a vegetable. This makes sense. See, tomatoes are fruit. And paste is…paste. So that’s, like, a vegetable.

UNC’s loss to UNLV in last week’s basketball game was a huge upset for the traditionally strong team. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… and in the DUI newsletter. And on the NCAA official rankings.
