Comedy CUB offers Mohr than Krauss

As comedian Jay Mohr took the stage,
he joked with Mike Hermick, president of
the Student Government Association, who
had introduced him.
"You all know Mike?” Mohr asked.
"He was the construction man in the
Village People."
Mohr headlined the "Comedy CUB” on
March 23. Guitarist Bil Krauss also
performed to less than half the crowd
following Mohr's act.
As the crowd of nearly 80 people drank
non-alcoholic beer and munched on fresh
popcorn, a 21-year-old Mohr talked about
his not-so-distant high school days.
"I was terrible in school-especially in
algebra," he said. "I couldn’t spell with
letters and they wanted me to add with
them?"
Mohr covered everything from safe sex,
to the drug war, to Droopy Dog.
Mohr included material on the drug war
efforts in his act after reading a warning to
druggies on the back of a milk carton.
"I think we're fighting it wrong," Mohr
said. "Do they think druggies do a big hit
of crack and then wash it down with a tall
glass of milk?"
John Bedoya, a junior majoring in
public policy, said he could relate to
Mohr’s bit on going to the doctor and
fearing an erection while being examined
for a hernia.
"That was the funniest part," Bedoya

said. "Every guy in the place could relate
to that."
Throughout his act, Mohr relentlessly
iliiiiii
tried to get an answer from Jim Mullane, a
junior accounting major.

part of the act," Mullane said. "But I was
glad when it was over."
"Jim-ster. The Jim-meistcr. The Jim
anator. The Re-Jim-anator," Mohr taunted.
"The Re-Jim-anator, that was the funniest
thing I said all night."
Then Mohr asked Mullane if, in
general, he practiced safe sex. Mullane
turned his head to the table, and the
audience roared.
When Mohr left the stage, much of the
audience also left. Krauss sang some
classics by Van Morrison and Eric
Clapton, along with a few of his own
songs, and managed to get a few chuckles
of his own.
"I spend a lot of time in my car,"
Krauss said. "That's where I wrote this
song."
As he sang the first lines, the audience
groaned with sympathy.
"I was stuck behind an RV doing 30
miles an hour in a 55, with no passing
zone," he sang.
He also sang some other mockeries
that he wrote, like "Buddha in the
Backyard," and "Squeeze Your Face."
Midway through his act, Krauss broke
a string and asked Mohr to come up and
tell a few jokes.
"I can try," Mohr said, taking the stage
once again, to tell a joke about how
terrorists book a flight on a plane.
