Activities Council – Matt

One of the many clubs I am a part of at Bradley is the Activities Council we have here. I am the Comedy Coordinator for the Activities Council, and I had my last event a couple of weeks ago. I brought comedian and mathematician Sammy Obeid to campus. Since he had a lot of math jokes in his set, I was giving people free pie the week before the event and during the event. Imagine that, you roll out of bed, start heading to class, and are given some pie to eat on your way! There are always people in the student center giving stuff like that out. We also put math jokes all over campus to help advertise the event and to, hopefully, make some people laugh. But back to Sammy, he was hilarious! As a math major myself, I loved his math jokes, but that wasn’t his whole set. He was super chill and made the event super personalized. During part of his set, he asked the crowd if there is anything we wanted to talk about, and we just started chatting! Someone wanted to hear even more math jokes, so I guess someone couldn’t get enough of him! Everyone in the crowd was laughing and enjoying Sammy’s set, and it was a nice little hour break to have to just chill out and have a good time. We also raffled off some Bob Evan’s gift cards as well as having our free ACBU merch to give away, so those were some other possible treats to get from coming to the event. After our events, the coordinator(s) who planned the event usually get to go grab dinner with the act, so that’s always super fun as well. Overall, the event was a blast, and it is always nice to be able to create an event and see how much people enjoy it!
