Because Hughley is considered one of the “kings of comedy,” Brook lyn Mike asserted that he was a self- proclaimed “peas ant of comedy.” Thanks to Brooklyn Mike, the audience was enthused for Hughley’sperfor- Hughley’s comedy routine included jokes ranging from politics such as the Elian Gonzalez issue and the flying of the confederate flag to hurricanes and “government cheese.” Hughley even joked about members of the audience and the security guards at Kenan who do not have guns. “Hughley really likes the college crowd because he feels they relate to him and his situational comedy,” Yvette Shearer of Shearer Public Relations said. Hughley uses situational com edy to make the audience laugh. He describes situ ations such as re lationships be tween parents and children and in corporates humor into his stories, al lowing the audi ence to easily re late to what he has to say. “I’m surprised that the show didn’t sell out days ago, but I am very pleased that it is almost completely sold out tonight,” ACE President Nicollete Fulton said. Courtesy of ACE D.L. Hughley entertained Kenan Auditorium’s audience with his comedy performance on Saturday. Hughley’s appearance was one of the major activities for the FallFest that lasted from Oct. 23-29. “I think (FallFest) has been fantastic. Every event was well attended and ev eryone seemed to get so much out of it,” Fulton said. Hughley began his career as a come dian working in small clubs. He at tributes his early success to his appear ance on “Def Comedy Jam,” a performance he calls one of his earliest breaks in the business. Hughley now stars in his own com edy which is moving from ABC to UPN this year. “The Hughleys,” a family sitcom Hughley created, is based on Hughley’s real-life experiences. He plays a father who moves his family from the city to the suburbs. The show has won him several awards including highest rated new show. Hughley also appears on the stand- up circuit and has recently toured with Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bemie Mac on the Crown Royal Kings of Comedy Tour. This tour has been named the highest grossing com edy tour in history, bringing in over $37 million, and it sold out major arenas across the country.
