“Crazy Days,” the first major event of the spring semester as part of the University Board’s “Welcome Back Weekend,” will start with a comedic performance by Pete Dominick tonight at 9 p.m in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

“I usually don’t laugh out loud at comedians, but I did at this comedian. This guy’s jokes and style of telling the jokes had me laughing out loud during his whole 15 minute set,” Ryan Rinchiuso, vice chair of the University Board, said.

“The members of the University Board saw him at a conference they all attended at the beginning of November,” Rinchiuso said.

“Some of his humor is pop culture, superhero comic book quotes and he also does a lot about going to the gym and working out,” Rinchiuso said.

“Just his style, it’s fresh. He sucks you into the world he’s in when he does his stand up and anyone who sees his set will be laughing throughout it,” Rinchiuso said.

After Dominick’s set, there is a performance by the reggae band Roots Rock Society followed by activities that will run until midnight.

“Some of the activities planned include freaky photos, which will give students the opportunity to get their picture taken with different settings such as the old west, and there will be a video dance party, similar to karaoke, where students can make their own music video,” Rinchiuso said.

In addition to the “Crazy Days” events at 7 p.m. Friday in Buzzard Auditorium, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” will play for free to all students and Saturday, as a “chick-flick double feature.” The double feature will consist of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” playing at 5 p.m. and “Sweet Home Alabama” at 8 p.m.

“We wanted to schedule something for everyone to go out and enjoy some sort of activity,” Rinchiuso said.

“UB tries to have big events each semester so students can go from a lecture to a band to a comedian in one weekend,” Rinchiuso said.

“Instead of walking all the way to the Union for an hour, they can walk to the Union and have a whole night’s worth of entertainment,” Rinchiuso said.

Students are encouraged to attend all the events planned and admission is free.
