At 10 p.m. Thursday, Alfred and Seymour, the “Blackstreetboyz,” performed as the third set of performers in the 909 Comedian Series, sponsored by the Student Activities Council.

Their performance was pushed back to 10 p.m. to prevent a conflict with the first football game for the 2004 Skyhawks.

“They were very entertaining and worth waiting for after the game to see,” said Andrea Cash, a freshman who is double majoring in Spanish and International Studies.

Throughout the performance the audience not only watched the show but became active participants. Alfred and Seymour, who are from Los Angeles, began their show by introducing themselves as “two black hobbits” in reference to their height. They also began the skit with a very brief juggling display during which they admitted to not actually knowing how to juggle. The show also included various comedic routines, dancing and interacting with the audience.

Their dancing skills incorporated techniques from break dancing, hip-hop, disco and even attempts at ballet. Topics for their comedic routines included life in Los Angeles, drug use and racial issues.

The comedians have been performing together for the past six years. They have experience with choreography as well as comedy and have worked with many famous actors and musicians including Britney Spears and Carmen Electra. Alfred and Seymour also used ideas from various television shows, including Punk’d and Fear Factor in the skits that included audience participants.

Russ Wright, a junior Political Science major, was the first participant from the audience. The comedians invited him on stage for their version of Fear Factor, which included playing a foam “guitar” and a dance lesson.

“It was great. I’d do it again,” commented Russ after his experience in the spotlight. The two comedians “punk’d” a student they invited on stage for a photo session by simulating the destruction of her camera.

Alfred and Seymour concluded the show with more dancing and received a standing ovation from the moderately sized audience, which seemed to have enjoyed their performance.
