Originally named Absolunacy, the troupe was formed in 1990 where it began as a sketch comedy troupe. Over the years the troupe has evolved into performing solely improv comedy, along with shortening the name to its now strongly recognized title of ABSO.
ABSO performs both short form and long form improv. The troupe puts on 3-4 on-campus shows a month, accompanied by other outside performances and workshops for different organizations. ABSO strives to give both a great performance with high energy games and great story development, along with fun and interactive opportunities for audience members to participate in.
