Please Don't Destroy is an American comedy group in New York City composed of Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, who began collaborating as students at New York University. The group was founded in 2017 and based on an act titled Please Don't Destroy My Farm. The troupe performed monthly comedy shows, appeared at the New York Comedy Festival, and produced sketch videos posted to YouTube. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the trio began creating short-form videos for TikTok and Twitter. In 2021, the trio was hired as writers on Saturday Night Live (SNL) to produce prerecorded digital videos for the show's 47th season. Please Don't Destroy debuted on SNL on October 9, 2021 with the sketch Hard Seltzer. Its song "Three Sad Virgins", with Pete Davidson and Taylor Swift, received widespread attention. In 2023, the group did a 26-date live comedy tour of the United States. In the same year, the trio wrote and starred in Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, a comedy film that follows three friends as they struggle through early adulthood and search for treasure. In July 2025, Please Don't Destroy began a comedy tour of seven U.S. cities. In September 2025, it was announced that Higgins would not return for Saturday Night Live's 51st season, while Herlihy would remain as a writer and Marshall would be promoted to cast member. Herlihy would also continue to appear in prerecorded sketches written and directed by him. Despite Higgins's departure from the series, Please Don't Destroy would not break up but would no longer produce sketches for SNL.
