We made this video in one action-packed take. The Stanford Fund is a Stanford-run organization that collects money from donors that supports financial aid, undergraduate academic initiatives, and student organizations like the Robber Barons. We’re pretty indebted to it and were happy to put so much effort into this video.

Hello potential spectator,
We, the Stanford Robber Barons, are celebrating our second birthday with our seventh all-new sketch comedy show, Robber Barons: Olympic Athletes. The comedy is pure gold, and after watching us perform, we’re sure we’ll at the very least place in your hearts. Does this last sentence not [Olympic] ring[s] true? Feel free to torch a building in protest. We suggest one of the international houses, or perhaps Escondido [Olympic] Village. We’ve shown a lot of promise at previous outings at the Laugh Factory and our recent San Francisco SketchFest exhibition, and we’ve been training all Winter quarter for the big event. In the comedy world, we’re proud to represent ourselves, to represent Stanford, and, most of all, to represent America. USA! USA! USA!
For the first time ever, you can reserve your seats in advance–make sure that you have a spot! We’ve sold out before, and we could well do it again.
Here’s a poster: Insert heavy handed metaphor about grace and comic timing here.

Exciting news: The Robber Barons have been invited to perform at Sketchfest, San Francisco’s annual sketch comedy festival! Participating in Sketchfest has been a goal of the group since the beginning (which was really not very long ago) since it is one of the most highly regarded and popular comedy festivals in the world. Just check out the list of people that have been in Sketchfest in the past–pretty impressive.
The exact schedule has not been set, but we will likely be performing one 30-minute set at a venue in San Francisco towards the latter part of January. If you around, stay tuned for details and be sure to check out our performance!
