The Campus Activities Board (CAB) of UNCG kicked off the Fall Fest celebrations with a series of events including Aurora Musicalis Recital, the Sigma Blu Nite Talent show, and the Miss Black and Gold pageant to name a few. But on last Thursday night, CAB hosted their ever popular comedy showcase.
Following Bill Bellamy as last year's act, Bobby Lee, eight year veteran of sketch the comedy show "MADtv," gave an uproarious performance for students, family, and guests with his classic Asian jokes and outlandish performing approach. Accompanying Lee was opening act comedian and artist Kevin Christy who has appeared in numerous films such as Knight Rider, Neverland and Dude, Where's My Car? He successfully warmed up the audience with hysterical jokes about dating failed actresses, Goths resembling "disgruntled mimes," and his life in Hollywood, calling the streets "golden pools of unrealized dreams."
Despite the sobriety Christy kept on stage, Lee often interacted with the audience, asking questions, stealing items to put in his pants, and all out humiliating any student who dared to text, talk, or heaven forbid, get up during his set. Towards the end of the show, things got wild when Lee decided it was time to give a lap dance. Maneuvering through the audience for a victim, Lee chose a very timid, very afraid guy (and for good reason), to give his elaborate lap dance to. With assistance from the audience in trying out a stage name, the audience calling back names such as Sweet and Sour, Shrimp Fried Lee, and other Asian menu items. Settling on Jerome for his stripper name, Lee removed most of his clothes and danced to the mouthed musical stylings another random audience member.
Every person in the audience from the CAB staffers in front, to the last freshman in back, were either on their chairs or scrambling towards the stage to get pictures and video with whatever device they could find. When it was over, Lee remained his thonged, half-dressed self, for the rest of his set and offered pictures, autographs, and dinner after the show. It was a night to be remembered, or forgotten, though forever captured in the digital cameras and cell phones of students all across campus.
