Sixty college students and comedy club representatives witnessed rookie performer Angel Gutierrez win against funny man Andrew Boydston, at the main event of “Thank Goodness for Laughter Amateur Comedy Night” at California State University, Fresno’s pub, The Bucket, Wednesday night.

According to Gutierrez, that was his first time doing stand-up and loved every minute of it.

Gutierrez received an e-mail mentioning the event, he thought he’d give it a shot.

“Live in the moment,” he said.

Fresno State students could either pay three dollars for a cover charge or bring an article of clothing, each of which took a dollar off each item purchased. The clothes were donated to the victims of the Philippine typhoons.

The night included performances by four local comedians from various comedy clubs, two Fresno State performers, a raffle draw that gave away T-shirts from the University Student Union productions team, and an upbeat host, Daniel Mitch.

Matt Nation, 23, a comedian who started his own comedy room at the Sequoia Brewing Company, started off the show. Nation spent his time entertaining the crowd with various jokes pertaining to college stereotypes, sex, and making fun of various audience members.

The next comedian was Aaron Stewart, who performs at the Thai Palms Restaurant and Bar, the same location where College Comedy Night is held. Stewarts’ performance consisted of an intense case of Attention Deficit Disorder which made him run all over the stage and around the audience keeping them entertained with a variety of jokes.

Then there was Christian Tayan, the 17-year-old comedian. Tayan entertained the audience with jokes about relationships and his inability to have one, and then proceeded to try and pick up on college girls in attendence.

Chris “the Comedian” Cruz, was the final performer before the main event. He currently performs at BB’s Lounge on Thursday nights, is also the reigning comedian champ at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino. Cruz finished off the night with sexual jokes about his encounters with women and the moves he loved pulling on them.

A short intermission proceeded with a raffle drawing of T-shirts, and the audience was able to enjoy some snacks that were provided.

“You could tell the crowd just enjoyed Gutierrez more because he related to the majority of the audience more, who were women,” said Jacque Crew, a junior public health major. “Boydston kept ragging on women and for some of his material it seemed repetitive from the performers before.”
