Leslie Jones to Headline Mirth Week

by Sydni Jackson


I, along with Awa Konte, are both a part of the Ambassador Team. We also work as the Executive Chair and Administrative Chair, respectively, for the University Program Board and are working now to help bring Mirth Week to life this April.


The University Program Board has announced that for their headlining show they will be hosting Leslie Jones for a stand-up comedy show during Mirth Week on Friday, April 27th. The University Program Board has a history of bringing big names to campus for this annual event. Performers such as Cee Lo Green, Tyga, B.O.B., Miguel, Neon Trees, and Trevor Noah (this past April) have graced the Blanche M. Touhill Anheuser-Busch Auditorium stage for a Mirth Week (formerly known as Mirth Day) headlining show. Last year, tickets for Trevor Noah’s comedy show sold out within 24 hours of being released to the public.

Tickets go on sale for students on February 26th at 10:00 a.m. at the Touhill Box Office for $15 (limit two per student ID) and tickets for the general public go on sale on March 19th at 10:00 a.m. for $35 (limit four per person). If last year is any indication of how fast these tickets will sell out make sure to get yours early
