The Lilting Banshees are a sketch comedy troupe at Wake Forest University in North Carolina.

[1] The sketch comedy troupe was founded in 1998 by Ben Tomlin '94, Matt Jones '96, and several other theatre students.

They performed classic sketches and unveiled a new fund in memory of alumnus James Buscher ‘98, who died in a car accident in 2010.
