Max Tavatli
"Kool-Aid"
Washed Up 4th Year...EWWW
“Max”, as you know him, is actually a high-tech dummy, which the Whethermen rent. Max refers to the small man behind the curtain who controls the voice and physical movements of the creature. The original model came with boobs, but, due to controversy, those were disposed of to create a stunning portrait of masculinity.
Jack Wolff
"Jiffy Lube"
El Presidente
Jack was lost in the woods at age 5 and raised by a pack of wolves who gave him both his last name and improv prowess. Since then he has been found and taken in by the Whethermen. Now Jack is taking random classes hoping to accidentally stumble into all of the requirements for a major by 2027.
Jack Ireland
"Danimals"
Vice President
After his breakout roles in "Hello, Dolly!" and "Big Fish" for the First Year Players, fame hit Jack hard, and he has since fallen off -- relegated to doing improv in hopes of another big break. Despite his last name, Jack is not actually Irish, and many have lobbied a petition to change it due to its misleading nature. Popular and more accurate submissions include "Jack Handsome," "Jack Funny," and "Jack Is A Second Year Music And Media Studies Major With A Minor In Leadership from Richmond, Virginia."
Farooq Khan
"Levi's"
Transfer
Farooq Khan is the result of a middle school science fair project where children were placed in rooms and made to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on repeat while exclusively consuming root beer and gushers. Farooq escaped the experiment recently and the Whethermen are supplementing his diet with improv comedy. If you need to find Farooq, he’ll most probably be lying in his bed, replaying the most embarrassing moments of his life in his mind.
Matthew Bach
"Beyblade"
Treasurer
Matthew Bach II is the twenty second in a long line of improvisers, tracing back to the court jester brother of Johann Sebastian Bach. Johann's ghost compels him to do improv, but he one day hopes for the downfall of all comedy. In the meantime, he studies electrical engineering and computer engineering.
