Free multicultural stand-up comedy show

MRSOE! (The Most RACES Show on Earth!) is a show that helps unite communities through Comedy. MRSOE allows diverse audiences to come together and laugh.

MRSOE! (The Most RACES Show on Earth!) delivers a unique multicultural stand-up comedy show that lets us laugh at our differences and tackle ethnic stereotypes, while educating students about diversity and multiculturalism.

Through comedy we seek to explore and encourage diversity so as to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation for people from all backgrounds.

MRSOE! Is comedy with a PURPOSE!  Our aim is to bring all students, staff and faculty together through laughter.

The show will consist of 4 comedians of all different nationalities.  Each comedian is given 15-20 minutes to deliver material of their choice and while not every joke is about race, each comedian will showcase their best material offering a FAST-PACED show of filler-free comedy.  The message we want students to take from each show is that FUNNY IS FUNNY no matter what culture, creed or color you are.

After the show the comedians will take questions from students and discuss their own unique views regarding Race and Comedy.

Scheduled Comedians:

Neil Bansil – (Creator and producer of “The Most RACES Show on Earth)

Mia Jackson-(Oxygen’s Girls Behaving Badly)

Dave Merheje- (NBC’s Stand-up for Diversity)

Noah Gardenswartz –(NBC’s Stand-up for Diversity)


Texas Tech University’s very own improv comedy team Flying Tortillas will also perform during the event.

This event is a part of the Learning Through Laughter Series and is being made available for Welcome Week. For more information contact the Cross-Cultural Center at 742-8681 or by e-mail at crosscultural@ttu.edu.
