ULM recently had the privilege of hosting Taylor Williamson, a nationally-renowned stand-up comedian, who performed to a group of students as part of the Week of Welcome festivities on Friday in Stubbs 100.

Williamson began his comedy profession as a high school senior in San Diego, Calif. Since then, he has appeared on TV shows such as “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,“ MTV’s “Total Request Live” and he was a semi-finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.”

Up-and-coming comic Kenny Harris opened for Williamson shortly after 6 p.m.

Williamson performed for more than an hour, and he had spectators in stitches with topics ranging from eccentric mothers to gremlins.

After the performance, Williamson commented on his ULM audience:

“I had a fun time. The students here are really nice and fun. I love the diversity, and CAB [Campus Activities Board] is great.”

With such success, ULM can hopefully expect Williamson to return soon.
