According to SPA’s press release, the group “performs weekly in Manhattan, and has been featured on CBS, VH1’s ‘Best Week Ever,’ College Humor, Funny or Die and ComedyCentral.com.”
Though the group has no affiliation with Harvard or its sailing program, the sketch comedy group made up of four men and five women has had great success over the years.
In 2011, the Harvard Sailing Team was the winner of the New York Nightlife Award for Outstanding Comedy Group and also the winner of the Friar’s Club Comedy Sketch Competition in 2010, where they debuted a short film to a sold-out crowd.
The group has been featured on various shows, short films and commercials, as well as participating in a multitude of comedy festivals.
