Still undefeated, still hilarious. The Drexel Football Team, the university's comedy improv group, kicks off their new season on Friday, October 17th at 8 PM in Stein Auditorium (33rd & Market St.). Since 2005, the Drexel Football Team has been playing to standing-room-only crowds.

Screenwriting and Playwriting student Luke Giordano has been the moving force in Drexel's growing comedy scene. To keep you laughing, Luke's also put together a monthly comedy showcase featuring rising Philly comics, entitled Stand-up at the Bully Pulpit which premieres on October 24th at 8 PM in Stein Auditorium.

The line-up for the first Bully Pulpit show includes Conrad Roth, Drexel alumni and host of the Center City Comedy Show; Doogie Horner, a regular at Helium Comedy Club and host of Ministry of Secret Jokes; Dave Walk, writer of the Philly comedy blog and host of a stand-up show in the Shubin Theater; and Kent Haines, the 2008 winner of Helium's Philly's Phunniest Contest and host of a talk show "Why Am I Not Famous?!' at the Shubin Theater.
