[edit] History

The CIA was started in the fall of 2005 by North Carolina State University students and ComedyWorx members Philip Boyne, John Fowler, and Katie Roberts. The group started out doing simple shortform exercises and games^[1] and gradually evolved into both shortform and longform thanks in part to I.O. South starting in 2006 ^[2]. Over the course of 2006, it was conceived to spread the love of CIA to other North Carolina schools, such as UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington. So far, the CIA has performed shows at NC State's Stewart Theater and the ComedyWorx theater in Raleigh, NC. They also participated in the 2006 Atlantic Coast Comedy Conference tournament in May of 2006.

[edit] Members

The group is very eclectic. Each member brings a unique brand and spin on the world of comedy; although, membership is open to all interested regularly enrolled students.^[1]
