Who are the Buffoons?
The CU Buffoons is the oldest a cappella group at the University of Colorado at Boulder, established in 1962. Our repertoire is always expanding as group members write and arrange new songs. Our professional and fun-filled performances are perfect for birthday parties and corporate events alike. Available both during the school year and over the summer months, the CU Buffoons perform upwards of 60 times a year. The CU Buffoons have traveled all across Colorado and beyond to share our music and irresistibly corny jokes.
