About Us
Red Hot Poker is an undergraduate sketch comedy group at Yale University. We write, workshop, and perform all original content in both live shows and video sketches! We pride ourselves on our diverse cast from theater veterans to professional meme curators. Some may say we peaked after winning "Best Comedic Short" in the 2018 New York Independent Film Festival, and to them we say...you may be right. That being said, we remain dedicated to producing fine sketch comedy for your viewing pleasure.

There are 365 days in a year. That makes 52 weeks in a year. 7 days in a week. 24 hours in a day. 60 minutes in an hour. 60 seconds in a minute.
That's how long you have been waiting.
You know us. You love us. You need us. So come and get us.
Moses.
