One of the major highlights of Homecoming week is the comedy show. It seems to me that since I got here in 2000, we’ve had only a few comedy shows that I would consider hilarious.

Homecoming 2000 saw John Witherspoon (a.k.a Pops from the movie “Friday”) as the headliner. That show brought about humiliation for Witherspoon because people began walking out and booing and the audience anticipated much more than, “Bang, bang, bang.”

Homecoming 2001 brought Bruce Bruce after the headliner Rickey Smiley could not attend. The show that year also featured Tone X and Michael Blackson and Bruce proved himself a worthy replacement.

Last year’s show brought back X and Blackson and queen of comedy Sommore. That show proved to be deja-vu-like from the previous year. Even Sommore was not as funny as she was on television and movies.

But this year, we saw a fresh group of faces. Thank goodness Tone X did not perform because if I would have had to sit through that old joke about Missy looking like a Halle Berry poster again, I was going to leave.

Zooman, whose name was no where near a flyer or advertisement for the show, was surprisingly funny but it sounded a lot like a set he did on Comic View about a week or two ago.

It was without the shadow of a doubt rude the way some of these “Aggies” treated Debra Terry.

Whether you thought she was funny or not, there is no excuse to boo anyone, especially someone that you have paid to see. Just because she did not use profane language and she did not talk about sex all night.

Lavelle Crawford has been by far the funniest comic that has been to A&T since I have been here. He has always been and will remain funny as long as he can laugh at him self and give his take on life.

Arnez J. was funny in spurts. He has always talked about his brother who has a disability and quite frankly, it is getting rather old.

The funniest part of his set was the whole Tiger Claw outburst and when he molested our Photo Editor. Arnez J. has been known to be funnier and I personally don’t think it was his best show.

Overall, the comedy show was something to do and was enjoyable at times. But during the rest, I felt as if I was watching a rerun of Comic View.
