Comedy Group Names for Improv, Sketch, Stand-Up, and Friends

A comedy group name has one unfair job: it has to be funny enough to remember without using up the best joke before anyone reaches the stage.

These ideas fit improv teams, sketch groups, stand-up collectives, school clubs, and friends who somehow turned bits into a recurring meeting.

Choose a name that fits the group
