What is Mock Turtle Soup?
Mock Turtle Soup is an on-campus improv comedy troupe at
Clemson University. Formed in Fall of 2002 by senior Bryan Buckley and junior Katie Jones, the organization's goal is to present high-quality long and short form improvisational comedy to the student body. The group is part of the official Clemson student organization Clemson Improv (click here to view its
constitution).
Mock Turtle Soup performs approximately four times a semester on-campus at Clemson University in Lee Hall. MTS also sponsors trips to Greenville, Chapel Hill and Chicago where its members perform, take classes from professional improvisers, and attend improv shows to increase their knowledge and skill.
