A comedian from MTV’s “Guy Code” is coming to UF this Friday.
Reitz Union Board Entertainment, along with GatorNights, is hosting Andrew Schulz in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Friday at 10 p.m.
RUB Entertainment president Kaitlin Milligan said the event is free for students with their Gator 1 Cards. Doors will open 30 minutes before the show starts.
“We chose Andrew Schulz because he’s a young comedian and his comedy is really relatable,” she said.
Schulz is being paid $7,500 to perform a stand-up comedy act, the 21-year-old telecommunication senior said. GatorNights and RUB Entertainment are splitting the cost for the entertainer, Milligan said.
Schulz, a New York native, will be touring the U.S. after his UF appearance.
Milligan said even though it costs money to bring the comedian in, all RUB Entertainment events are free.
Milligan said the crowds are usually around 300 to 400 people, but she hopes the show has a good turnout. The ballroom holds up to 900 people, she said.
Kianna Brown, 20, said she saw Schulz was coming to UF on Facebook.
“When I heard he was coming I got really excited,” the UF public relations junior said. “He’s really funny.”
RUB Entertainment often puts on really good shows, Brown said, adding that she thinks they always try to bring out relevant entertainers.
“They really look at what people want and what people are familiar with,” she said.
Brown said she will definitely be arriving early to see the comedian.
She said Schulz is like other comedians who are better known for their appearances on TV rather than their stand-up.
“I think he’s going to put out a good show regardless of how many people are there,” she said.
