A reflection on this year in Television.

Not many of you outside of the group know this, but Mike and Alex watch way too much TV. So they thought you’d all benefit from their vast knowledge of the world of TV and review some of their favorites of this season. LOST Lost is had its final season. And I’ve been an avid [...]

Hostile Crew Takeover

Here is a sketch written by our loving and talented crew! All cast members on stage. Mary: I would like to welcome you this evening to my…. Screen flashes red while a nuclear waste alarm sounds. The crew rushes in from all corners of the room.  Cast members look confused. Kabe: Alright! That’s it! I [...]

Thanksgiving, Not a Road Bump Holiday

Hey! Yeah, YOU! The one blaring the Christmas music BEFORE Thanksgiving… yeah, can it! Today I am calling out all marketing professionals and experts to overcome a problem that they have been missing for the past 20 years: Thanksgiving! So many companies glaze right over one of the best holidays that America has to offer. [...]

The Exponentiality of Cheese

One thing in this world has the amazing attribute of no diminishing marginal utility. While that may seem like an economical impossibility, I submit to you the one substance that you just can’t get enough of: Cheese. Maybe this situation seems familiar to you. You visit your local taco shop with an empty stomach yet [...]

Balloon Boy Saga, for those that missed it.

I must confess. I am one of the many Provo residents who finds comfort inside the bubble and only looks through the window of the media once in awhile when I feel courageous. It’s not that I don’t care about what is going on in the nation… I just don’t care to see more air [...]

You See, It’s Not Funny, Because…

I’d like to openly accuse Divine Comedy for giving me false expectations all these years. I almost believe that I have been lied to. I’ve watched DC sketches and heard weird stories about “freshman fools”… “Oh, freshmen, what babies”… But being a freshman means nearly nothing. I thought for sure something drastic and stereotypically freshmanish [...]

A Sketch that Will Never Run…

I wrote the following song lyrics last year.  The lyrics are to be sung to the tune of Modern Major General.  For several reasons, the sketch turned out to be completely unperformable.   Since I think the writing is still quite clever, I’ve included the lyrics for your enjoyment.   (Read it with Modern Major General playing [...]

These are the main points that should help you in preparing your two minutes of original comedic material. First: Remember that you have two minutes to audition, [...]

Inorganic Farming

Through a series of events that aren’t important, I wound up going white water rafting with a bunch of physicists, biologists, and engineers who are summer interns with NASA.  Many of these people hope to be hurled into space in the future.  Based on my assessment of their sheer brilliance, I think they are excellent [...]

Room Reservation Process

Hello friends of Divine Comedy!  Occasionally we receive questions about what is involved in Divine Comedy and to what degree the productions are difficult to produce.  I’m happy to answer those questions with the following allegory about what is involved in reserving the venue for Divine Comedy Shows. Allegory: The stealth aircraft tore through the [...]

Mary’s Objectionable Endangered Marine Animal of the Week

I don’t trust sea otters.                    They look like they have something to hide. Oily and shifty-eyed. And what’s with that whole using tools thing? Sure, it’s cute when it’s just a rock and anemones, but what are we going to do when they develop nuclear capacities?

A Blog Post about How Much I Hate Dances

“Anti-social Dance” in the DC performance tonight asked us to compose a blog about why we hate dances. Here’s our list (from Dc cast and crew): 1. Matt 2. Matt singing along with Jonas brothers. 3. Oftentimes I don’t like the music selection. 4. People try too hard. 5. Too much grinding. 6. Not enough [...]

New Website

We are excited to launch our new website. We realize that the old one was pretty bad, but we are committed to keeping this one up-to-date. The cast will be blogging. Videos will be posted. Matt might even write some bad poetry. Go ahead and leave us a comment below and let us know what [...]
