Empty Set is a comedic performance troupe at Worcester Polytechnic Institute under the umbrella organization of Student Comedy Productions. The troupe was founded in C-term of 2004 by Ben Sandofsky.

Empty Set believes in using improvisation to create comedy, both in rehearsal and in performance, while still strongly valuing the structure of written sketch comedy. From there, the troupe seeks to express its comedic passion in any and every form available.

Beginnings and Continuing History:

In C-term of 2004, the troupe had its first performance alongside Guerilla Improv. The group continued to perform alongside Guerilla Improv until B-term of 2004, when it had its first stand-alone show. Since then, the troupe has performed many shows covering a broad range of styles including, but not limited to: a Mystery Science Theater style show, a show that parodied open-mic nights, a character-based long form show, a 'game show' show, a full length movie, and a radio play.
