We've travelled to 32 schools in search of the funniest voices in college comedy. Eight students from each school were chosen by audience members to be the official Comedy Team of that school and advance to the Regional Rival Match.
Two Comedy Teams perform head-to-head in premier comedy clubs in the ultimate college rival laugh-off. Audience and judges select four members from each Comedy Team as the Traveling Comedy Team. Remaining members serve as alternates. Video of each performer is posted here and at m.Rooftop2009.com. Vote for your school's Comedy Team to keep them in the competition!
