Bloomers Comedy was founded in 1978 by a group of undergraduate women at the University of Pennsylvania, opening the doors to an Ivy League tradition of musical sketch comedy that had only been available to undergraduate men through Mask and Wig since 1889.

Bloomers was named after Amelia Jenks Bloomer, an early member of the women’s liberation movement. When she popularized the long, loose trousers gathered at the ankles and worn under a short skirt in 1851, the uproar rivaled those over hot pants and miniskirts in the 1960s. The new look was adopted by collegiate women of the time. They were freed from the confines of their skirts as they donned bloomers.
