In 1994 two BYU students, Sprigg Davis and Mike Rasmussen, were in a communications class together and found that they had a common love of sketch comedy. They decided to start a comedy troupe. They held auditions and Divine Comedy was born.

Steve Jenkins was the OG cast member who came up with the name Divine Comedy and our angel mascot was named Steve in his honor.

Each year a few members would leave the group and they would hold auditions to replace them, which makes being in Divine Comedy is a bit like being the Dread Pirate Roberts.
