Big Sean gets big laughs at SAC's '909'


“Big Sean” Larkins filled Watkins Auditorium with laughter Thursday night at the second edition of SAC’s 909 Comedy Series.

Larkins’s good friend, “Honey Bunz,” performed an opening act. He referred to himself as “the one-eyed bandit” because he wore a sparkling eye patch. He has appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, BET’s Comic View and HBO’s Bad Boys of Comedy.

Originally from Detroit, Larkins moved to Atlanta, twelve years ago and has been performing comedy for eleven.

“I have to clean up my act a little when coming to college campuses,” said Larkins. “Every school is different, so I try to adjust.”

Much of his act was spent making fun of his childhood, relationships and just growing up in general. “I try to talk about things students can relate to,” Larkins said.

Almost everyone in the auditorium could relate to Big Sean’s jokes. “You know you’re in a small town when Jackson’s the nearest landmark!”

“I had a great time because he included the entire audience in the routine, not excluding myself,” said Amber Niblock, SAC’s Entertainment Chair.

“This is the second 909 show we’ve been to and we really enjoyed it,” said UTM students Ethan Nash and Annie Naik.

The next edition of the Comedy Series will be Monday, Feb. 6 at 9:09 in Watkins Auditorium.
