Lots of Laughs

-Ursula Fox-Koor

Comedian Aziz Ansari performed at Ithaca College on Sunday night as part of his “Glow in the Dark” tour.

The stand-up comedian is most famous for his work on MTV’s comedy show Human Giant as well as his appearances on Comedy Central's Premium Blend” and HBO’s "Flight of the Conchords.”

The Student Activities Board sponsored the free event and was held in Emerson Suites. Ansari’s wit and quick tongue were well received by the audience as he told jokes about everything from encounters outside Jamba Juice to Facebook pranks.

Ansari's hilarity comes as no surprise, however. He was recently included in Rolling Stone's "Hot List" as the choice for "Hot Standup" and has also won the Jury Award for Best Standup at the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO.

You can catch Ansari in the new Seth Rogen comedy "Observe and Report” and check out his blog here for some good laughs.
