Jericho! Improv and Sketch Comedy is a UC Berkeley-based, entirely student run comedy group founded in 2005 [1]. The group specializes in long-form improvisation, video and stage sketches, as well as hidden camera stunts (guerilla improv). They host a weekly improv show each Friday during the school year at 8PM known as a series of "Friday Night Mash-ups." Also, they incorporate stage and video sketches in two larger weekend shows each semester. The group is led by a producer and assistant, two improv directors, and a sketch director elected at the end of each academic semester.
