The State Farm Center usually brings musical acts to the venue, so Noah’s routine is a change of pace.
“I think his comedy is fantastic, and I think his show is going to be really good for the students, especially in a college campus like ours,” said Dean Gozum, grad student in accounting. “The University should bring more comedians.”
Noah’s comedy special “Afraid of the Dark” debuted on Netflix in February for those looking to familiarize themselves with the comedian.
“I’ve seen a couple of his videos and they’re pretty entertaining to watch,” said Niyi Adeleye, junior in LAS. “I’m looking forward to it.”
