HISTORY LESSON: THE GROUNDLINGS
Julia Sweeney was an accountant. Cheri Oteri was a member of A&M's publishing staff. That is, before they found the Groundlings, a renowned Los Angeles improv troupe that has churned out such comedy luminaries as Phil Hartman, Laraine Newman, Lisa Kudrow and Mindy Sterling (Frau Farbisseneh, anyone?)
Well, the Groundlings have turned 30, and Arriviste Press has a great article on the history of the troupe.

What? You've never taken improv? You should. I'm an improv fundamentalist: I think everyone should study improv, at least for a few hours. It is the light and the resurrection, and the rock of ages, and my own personal Zion, and--oh, never mind.
But seriously, take improv.

Love, love, love the Groundlings. And, a friend of mine from high school is part of the main stage cast, which makes it even more fun. Next time any of you find yourselves in LA, most definitely check it out.
I can second that, the Groundlings put on a good show.
