Up-and-coming comedians Collin Moulton and Adam Norwest are coming to Eastern to perform their acts at the “Final Comedy Show” in the 7th Street Underground.

The University Board is conducting its final show of the year at 9 p.m. today.

The show features the acts of Moulton and Norwest.

Comedy Central will be taping the event for a special to air sometime this year.

Rovion Reed, a senior African American studies major, helped with the event.

He said he feels that this being filmed and eventually shown on national television will attract a large crowd.

“Hopefully this will bring a lot of people out here,” Reed said.

Moulton started doing stand-up comedy in 2000. He has appeared in clubs across the country.

Moulton has won several awards, including The Rocky Mountain Laugh Off in 2001 and been featured on Comedy Central and Showtime.

John Gietz, a sophomore business and kinesiology major was excited to hear that Moulton was coming to Eastern.

“I have seen some of his stuff on the internet and I am definitely interested in going to the show,” Gietz said.

Adam Norwest is a young comedian who started doing stand-up at age 13.

He was the youngest ever to compete in Seattle’s International Comedy Competition.

Norwest currently lives in Los Angles. He is currently touring several clubs and colleges

across the country for the next few weeks.

Admission is free and all students are encouraged to come to what is sure to be a night full of laughter.
