DC Ervin, named LA’s funniest comedian in 2011, will be bringing the laughs to Western’s campus on Friday, Jan. 22 in the Pacific Room of the WUC.
With a unique style and strong stage presence, Ervin has separated himself from other comedians; he is not afraid to laugh with the audience, and his exaggerated facial expressions and impressions get the audience going.
Ervin touches on subjects that everyone can chuckle about, like actors overdoing it in cookie commercials, feeling uncomfortable at ATMs in the middle of the night, and how hard it is to stifle your laughter when somebody falls at the gym.
Ervin’s father, also a comedian, introduced him to art of comedy at a young age. Ervin began his career in the Bay Area of California and is currently eliciting laughs in the Los Angeles comedy scene.
Ervin may be a funny man, but his reasons for success are more serious. His dreams of becoming a comedian were not rooted in simply making people laugh, but in becoming a role model for the two most important people in his life: his daughters.
When he’s off the stage, Ervin also writes, produces, and stars in his own short films and sketches.
This event is brought to WOU through the Student Activities Board and is free to WOU students.
