Comedian Steve Hofstetter is coming to the University tonight as part of the Jewish Student Union’s Jewish Comedy Night.
Many University students may recognize Hofstetter as one of their friends on the Facebook (www.facebook.com). According to one of his syndicated humor columns, Hofstetter had more than 1 percent of all the college students in the world on his Facebook friends list until Facebook administrators cleared out the 200,000-person roster earlier this month because it was slowing down the Web site.
In addition to writing his syndicated column, “Thinking Man,” Hofstetter, a graduate of Columbia University, hosts “Four Quotas” on Sirius Satellite Radio, is the director of acquisitions for Comedy Express TV and has written two books, according to his Web site (www.stevehofstetter.com).
JSU director Jonathan Rosenberg said Jewish Comedy Night will include comedy based on a variety of topics including Jewish culture.
“All groups can laugh about a lot with their histories,” Rosenberg said.
The event will take place at 7 p.m. in the EMU Fir Room.
