Humorology

Humorology, or "humo" for short, is an annual musical/variety show that takes place at the university of Wisconsin - madison in april of each year. Humorology has been a uw - madison tradition since 1948, touching the lives of students and the community through the friendships that are made, and funds that are raised. Each year, over 600 students spend the course of the academic year on a team (cast), writing, composing, choreographing, and directing original mini-musical comedies. This year, nine casts will compete for six spots in the final show. The casts also compete against one another to raise the most money for the philanthropic partners Humorology chooses to donate to that year.this competitive spirit has allowed Humorology to donate $185,000 to the boys and girls club of dane county and the dane county chapter of united cerebral palsy, $195,000 to the rainbow project, $234,500 to the neighborhood house, over $400,000 to the badger childhood cancer network, over $335,000 for blessings in a backpack, over $145,000 for big brother big sisters of dane county, and over $449,000 for rise.
