Improv comedy featuring Third Wheel Improv (Columbia University & Barnard College) and The Purple Crayon (Yale University)
The 2026 Hartford Improv Festival is proud to present this improv comedy show featuring these great teams!
Third Wheel Improv
Columbia University & Barnard College
Third Wheel is a co-ed improv comedy group at Columbia University and Barnard College. We do long form improv and perform on and off campus, at improv festivals on the east coast.
The Purple Crayon
Yale University
The Purple Crayon is America’s oldest collegiate longform improv group. We specialize in The Harold, a longform improvisation format that spins three separate storylines into one intricately-woven narrative. Most of all, we’re a group of people who love to perform, hang out, and laugh together.
