If you can get around the photograph (which is the size of a throw rug), there’s an interesting article in Pulp, the student paper at Syracuse (Get it? Pulp!? Syracuse? Big Orange?) about an open mike on campus.
The comedy hour was organized by Josh Simpson, a senior television, radio and film major. He put together six shows last semester and six more are scheduled for this semester.
Simpson, who was also the show’s master of ceremonies, came up with the idea when he was doing stand-up in Los Angelos during the summer and received suggestions from comedians Zach Galifianakis and Demetri Martin.
Mr. Simpson didn’t wait around for someone else to start an open mike. Very Shecky of him to do so.
A correction from our Syracuse maven, Tommy James: As a proud alumnus of the school, I feel it is my obligation to tell you that the newspaper at Syracuse University is not called “Pulp” but rather the “Daily Orange.” “Pulp” is simply a section that holds a collection of articles that don’t fit into one category or another.
