24 Hour Show

Fruit Paunch is famous for its annual 24 Hour Show, in which members perform improv for 24 straight hours. Attendance famously wanes from hour to hour, yet the quality only steadily decreases. The players can be found in Lerner or on the Sundial over the course of the performance.

Web site

Prior to 2011, Fruit Paunch's website has only contained the text "Someone owes me $20. -Cody". This message was posted by Cody Hess, SEAS '06, who was listed as their official webmaster and member of one other campus improv troupe, Klaritin. He claims that this was done in retribution for the group's failure to compensate him for his service as webmaster. According to members of Fruit Paunch, Cody never specified whether he wanted payment in cash or check, which is why he was not paid.

For the time being, the group's Group Web site is up and running.
