Welcome to Something Else, Ball State's premiere Sketch Comedy Group! We’re always looking for the best and brightest to join our organization. We really want people who want to get involved with the comedy scene at Ball State. Motivated, dedicated, hard working FUNNY people. People who are not afraid to stand up in front of 30 or 300 people and tell a joke or story, people whose brains flow with ideas and thoughts that want to get them down on paper or film.

Overview
Something Else (SE) is Ball State’s premier sketch comedy group. Though Something Else originally was a full format 30 minute show, the group now tackels sketch comedy on "new media" outlets [aka The Web].
