CollegeHumor to perform Sunday

Every student has a different method of procrastination. For athletes, it may be going to the gym, for pot heads it may be baking (literally and figuratively), but for the average college student, it’s spending countless hours trolling the Internet — whether it be Facebook, YouTube, or collegehumor.com.

Sunday night (a.k.a. prime procrastination time), Jeff Rubin and Streeter Seidell of MTV’s “The CollegeHumor Show” will be performing a sketch comedy routine at BU’s Anderson Center at 7:30 p.m.

The event is the first show this year put on by Student Association Programming Board Variety Chair Ashlee Yilmaz.

“I’m personally a huge fan of CollegeHumor,” Yilmaz said. “I procrastinate a lot and a lot of my time is spent on their Web site.”

Tickets went on pre-sale last Thursday but are currently being sold at full price — $8 for students, $10 for general public — in all on-campus dining halls as well as at the SA Box Office, located above the Susquehanna Room. There will also be tickets available at the door.

“There’s been a lot of interest so far,” Yilmaz said. “I’m very happy.”

Opening for the duo are up-and-coming comedian Dan Levy, a frequent feature on Comedy Central, and Binghamton’s own Pappy Parker Players.

“When we do have a comedy event on campus, we always think of them because they have a pretty solid fan base on campus,” Yilmaz explained.

Aaron Cohn, vice president for programming and former variety chair, is looking forward to the event.

“It’s going to be a funny night,” Cohn said.
