Free Comedy Night

I believe it was Maya Angelou who wrote, “It’s Friday night. I feel all right. The party’s here on the west side, so I reach for my 40 and I drink it up.”

Scholars and poetry aficionados have analyzed the meaning of this quote for quite some time. Some say that it is a metaphor for the celebration or the need that one feels to celebrate the end of a workweek. Others maintain that it is merely homage to Maya Angelou’s high school football days during which she played nose guard for Permian High School in Odessa, Texas.

Those who were closest to Angelou say something different all together. The Situation, Maya’s first husband and star of MTV’s Jersey Shore, says that anyone who knew Maya Angelou as intimately as he, knows that when she wrote those famous words she was in fact referencing Free Comedy Night with Mike Simpson at the Joe Crowley Student Union, located on campus at the University of Nevada.

When Angelou wrote, “It’s Friday night…” it was a symbol representing that Comedy Night is in fact on Friday night, said The Situation. She also referred to it as a party at which she felt alright, he said, meaning that Comedy Night was so much fun that it actually felt like a party. As far as her mentioning the drinking of a 40, The Situation says that drinking is bad for you and Maya Angelou would never have been inferring that she drank a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor but she was referring to the 1 to 10 number rating that she gives Mike Simpson, the headlining comedian at Comedy Night. Mike Simpson gets a 40 out of 10, Maya Angelou would often say, said The Situation.

In honor of one of the great American poets, Maya Angelou, the Joe Crowley Student Union presents:

Comedy Night at the Joe starring Mike Simpson

The show starts TONIGHT (Friday February 22) at 8pm it is free, it is funny, and it is better then anything else you had planned. So come to the Joe tonight and support a Nevada alum (Simpson) while simultaneously supporting the human need for laughter within yourself.

*Just in case you are a mean person: Maya Angelou never said any of that stuff, nor did The Situation. They didn’t marry each other either. So please don’t sue.
