The senior members of the improv group Pocket Lint must have been born with a few extra funny bones. Ranging from only a semester of experience to all four years of their Wittenberg career, each senior delivered a range of great one-liners and sketches at their first performance of the semester in Founders last Wednesday.
Sitting down with the group after the show was like getting a private performance. It was clear how close they all were by the severity of their teasing, and just how many “favorite moments” they could come up with. If you know Pocket Lint, not all of their answers can be printed, but here are the seniors and their thoughts on their experiences and what’s to come for the improv team:

Favorite skit: The pick-up line game
Best part of Pocket Lint: It’s an outlet for my comedic gold.

What’s your experience been like?: Clearly the worst. They all make fun of me.

How will the group do without the seniors?: It’s always a transitional period, they’ll find a group dynamic.
Harold Kalibala
Been a member for: Four years
Favorite part: One time Pat Deering shot a blank gun in my face. That was fun.
