Off-Off Campus is the oldest improvisational and sketch comedy group at the University of Chicago.

In the early 1950s, improv as it is known today was invented on the University of Chicago campus at the Woodlawn Tap.

[4] In 1986, Bernie Sahlins returned to the U of C in order to re-establish improv and sketch comedy on the south side of Chicago.

[1] The first generation of Off-Off Campus was trained by Sahlins, and the group continues to build on the foundation he created.

[7][8] Sarah Koenig, host and executive producer of the acclaimed podcast Serial, was a member of the same generation as Auburn.
