Headlined and hosted by Comedian, DC Young Fly, with performances from Pratt Tha Comedian, Dother Sykes, and Brandon Lewis, was the annual Springfest Comedy Show held Thursday, April 19 in the F.G. Clark Activity Center.
Pratt Tha Comedian is from Shreveport, Louisiana and a Southern University Shreveport, Louisiana alumnus.
Students enjoyed his act, especially of how different women behave in the club.
He even made jokes about Southern’s Student Choice awards. “Southern, y’all know y’all wrong for these plastic awards. One of ‘em was even made out of cardboard. I see why nobody was coming up here to get their awards,” said Pratt.
He has another show in Shreveport at Prime XO Cigar and Hookah Lounge on Wednesday, May 2nd.
Pratt will also host a fashion show and a birthday party and will soon release his own fashion line
Students seemed to enjoy him the most after DC Young Fly. Sophomore Nursing Major from New Orleans, La said the same. “He was funny. The first comedian [Pratt Tha Comedian] and DC Young Fly were the only funny ones though. I don’t know what was going on with those other two but they weren’t funny at all,” said Richardson.
Dother Sykes is a Louisiana native that has been a comedian for six years now.
For him, comedy is more than just a hobby. “It’s what I have a passion for. It’s what pays the bills,” said Sykes.
One of the biggest shows of his career was a sold out show in New York with Tiffany Haddish and Alex Thomas. The crowd took a little longer to warm up to him and he even got booed at one point. DC Young Fly had to step in and get Sykes off of the stage. He’s currently working on a web series called, Home.
Brandon Lewis headlined the show. He’s from Cobb County, Georgia and he’s no rookie to comedy either.
Lewis has been a comedian for eight years and was even on MTV’s Yo Mama. He currently works for All Def Digital. “So if you go to YouTube and go to All Def Digital, I got a show on there called Roast Me. It’s a highly anticipated show. Got millions of views. I host that show and you can look forward to me performing around the country,” says Lewis.
The crowd enjoyed him at first, but eventually they were just ready for him to get off of the stage.
DC Young Fly served as the host for the night. He made jokes about almost every person in the front row, photographers included. He had the crowd going wild with his sex and LBGT jokes.
He liked that the crowd did not come to play. “I mess with Southern because y’all ain’t playing man. Y’all booed the first dude and the second one talked so much I had to come save him. And he’s funny, but y’all just don’t play no games,” said DC Young Fly.
He also said he enjoyed the love that the crowd showed him. “Y’all showed me so much love. It kind of made me feel good,” said DC Young Fly.
He said we never know what projects he’ll be working on next, but he’s here to continue his calling and entertain the world.
