- Divine Comedy (BYU)
-
Divine Comedy is a sketch comedy group sponsored by Brigham Young University. It is known for its parodies of Mormon culture.[1] It also conducts other parodies, for instance their parody of Katy Perry's song firework firebolt.[2][3]
The group began in 1994[4] when a pair of BYU students joined together to form a "clean" comedy group. The cast changes from year to year as students leave and join the organization.
One prominent former member is Brandon Mull, author of the popular FableHaven series.[5]
