SUMMARY:Robert Mac
DESCRIPTION:Robert Mac is a comedian and “motivational humorist” from Washington DC\, a city that has a desperate need for humor. He’s best known as the Grand Prize Winner of Comedy Central’s national Laugh Riots competition and for his appearances on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Mac has been seen on the stages of the inaugural Great American Comedy Festival\, the Boston Comedy Festival\, Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival\, and other highly acclaimed events throughout the country. \nMac created a comedy slash history slash game-show walking tour business in San Francisco\, a much funnier city than Washington DC. Part history lesson and part game show\, the tours took visitors to locals-only locations where tour busses never ventured. \nWith two degrees from the University of Arizona\, Mac is amusing\, erudite\, clever\, and clean. In other words\, perfect for First Night State College. \nA First Night Button is required for this performance. \nRobert will also be performing at 4:30 & 7:00 p.m.
