The Importance of Relationships (1 of 3)

My friend Mickey and I decided to start The Callbacks after we were unsuccessful callbacks for another group at Boston University in 2009. The senior members of that group called Mickey and I to encouraged us to continue with comedy and even try to start our own group. To everyone’s surprise we actually did. That same year we won “Best New Student Group of The Year”, had one of our videos nominated in the College of Communication’s Film Festival and attracted the most Facebook fans and Youtube views of any other comedy group on campus.
