BSU Homecoming event will feature TV, radio comedian

Benji Brown, a comedian and actor, will perform for UF students today at 8 p.m. in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom.

Brown will perform in an event for Black Student Union Homecoming Week.

"Anyone can appreciate his comedy," said Shakelia LeBlanc, BSU homecoming director.

The free event will follow the group's pep rally at 6 p.m., which will incorporate a special ribbon fundraiser for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense Fund.

Brown is a personality on Miami's WEDR-FM 99 Jamz "Big Lip Bandit Morning Show."

But the airwaves aren't the only place where the comedian's fans can find him.

On an Internet video, Brown parodies the "Maury Povich Show" in a show in which he plays KiKi, a mother dressed in a skintight gold outfit searching for her baby's father.

Brown is veteran of BET's "Comic View" and appeared on MTV's "Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out" in June. He has also worked with Chris Rock, the Queens of Comedy and rap artists Trina and Trick Daddy.

Unlike other comedians, Brown tells jokes as both himself and through his characters, LeBlanc said through giggles.

After the show, Brown will sign autographs and take pictures with fans.
