Sweeps
Sweeps (formerly Klaritin) was Columbia University's long form improv comedy troupe.
The group last performed on December 7, 2007 as the opening act to Chowdah's holiday show. The performance included "a domino chain of improv skits complete with reference to broken families, broken chia pets, peanut butter blasphemy, and linear references" and one Bwog commenter was moved to reflect, "At least Sweeps was funny" [1].
The group disbanded in 2008. Some former members went on to form the musical improv group Alfred.
The name "Sweeps" refers to an improv edit, in which a person runs across the stage, clearing it, and starting a new scene.
