Backburner Sketch Comedy is a member of the OSU comedy network dedicated to written, performed comedy. Our purpose is to bring laughter to The Ohio State University by developing a community around sketch comedy within the university and to improve the writing, acting, directing, and technical skills of our membership.

Membership is open to all currently-enrolled students at the university. The organization will consist of an officer core and the general membership. All members may be subject to the following aspects of sketch comedy:

  1. Writing
  2. Acting
  3. Directing
  4. Technical assistance
  5. Promotion

Backburner meets at 7 PM every Tuesday. During traditional semesters, we meet in Enarson Classroom Building on North Campus. This semester, we are meeting remotely via Zoom. Message us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter to access our Zoom link. During meetings, we do writing and acting exercises, rehearse sketches, and hang out!
