Red Hot Poker is a New Haven-based sketch comedy group at Yale University.[1] The group performs 6 original full-length shows per year and also performs with other comedy groups.

Most recently they have performed with Purple Crayon of Yale University, The Oxford Revue of Oxford University, and comic duo Frangela.[2][3]

Rush

At the beginning of each academic year, Red Hot Poker begins its formal rush process. Potential new members attend open auditions to read sides from the previous years' shows. Callbacks are offered to the top auditionees. The group typically "taps" 3-5 new members per year.
