Chicago native comedian Damon Williams performed to a full University Ballroom Friday night.

Williams’ politically incorrect and sometimes sexual humor appealed to over 250 students who came to the show at 9 p.m. and filled the room with laughter.

Chris Stanfield, comedy coordinator for the University Board, said the largest attendance for a comedy show is usually around 200 people.

“It was crazy,” Stanfield said of the turnout.

The theme of the show was “laugh tonight, you can be serious tomorrow,” Willams said. He warned audience members not to take his jokes personally, and to sit back, relax and just enjoy the show.

The energetic show covered topics ranging from masturbation and sex to farting and potty humor to cracks about President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry. Many of his jokes about different races, sexes and political beliefs had potential to offend many, but the audience laughed and the show was well received.

“Life is too short not to laugh,” Williams said.

Willams mentioned the Scott Peterson case, terrorism and the death of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He joked about greek organizations on campus and asked for audience participation during the show. He sang songs by Usher and R. Kelly that he modified to get a laugh from the audience. Near the end of the night, Williams even gave the audience the history of oral sex.

Williams, who has appeared on BET’s “Comic View” and on Comedy Central, ended the show by plugging his merchandise and his Web site, www.damonwilliamscomedy.com, which he encouraged everyone to visit.

“It was so much better than last week,” said Himadri Shah, a freshman pre-med biology major, about Williams’ performance in comparison to last week’s comedian.
