...wishes there was an awesome story behind their name, but Rebecca Brey, a member of the group, explained that in truth there’s not much rationale behind it. “We started our sketch comedy group over 5 years ago and when we were coming up with names someone suggested Harvard Sailing Team as a name and that we wear argyle,” Brey wrote to us in an e-mail.

On paper that might have made me scoff - Martine is such a sketch of the bad girl in need - but Hurt and Redmayne sold me on the notion.
