Comedians David Ahdoot and Ethan Fixell performed at Creighton on Thursday. The event, which was advertised under the title “Dave and Ethan: Comedic Dating Coaches,” took place in the Skutt Student Center. The show was free for

Creighton students.

The duo started out as a YouTube sensation. The pair of lifelong best friends advertised for double dates on websites like

Craigslist. The bachelors then went on over 200 double dates and posted videos about them on YouTube. Since they started out in 2008 they have performed around the country, including multiple college campuses, and have been guests on popular television shows such as “The Colbert Report” and “The Tonight Show.”

Their show Thursday night packed the Skutt Fireplace Room with students and kept them laughing all night. Some audience members did not even meant to attend the event but just happened to end up in the right place at the right time. Students in attendance raved about the pair, saying that they were funny and

refreshing.

“The best part was how they knew so many specifics about Creighton and Creighton stereotypes and were able to incorporate them into their show,” Business senior Brett Coburn said.

During the comedy sketch, Ahdoot and Fixell talked about their adventures (or misadventures) with double dating, experimented with pick-up lines and encouraged audience participation. The pick-up lines were a big hit with the audience. They told some good ones and some equally bad ones, and they were all received well.

The routine delivered laughs but also gave advice to college students. Fourth year Pharmacy student Shelby Shemanski, who was one of the volunteers chosen to participate in the show, said it taught her the importance of first impressions.

“Over all it was a great show and I would recommend it to anyone in the future,” Shemanski said.

The Creighton Students Union Program Board, who was responsible for putting on this event, will be bringing spoken word artist George Watsky to campus in early November.

Program Board coordinator and Arts & Sciences junior Connor Neuville said, “I would highly encourage all students to attend the events put on by Program Board. Whether this means stopping by WAC or attending all of our late night programs, students should take advantage of the free programming that CSU Program Board offers.”

If students ever have ideas for events that they would like to see brought to campus, they can tell a program board member. If they do not personally know somebody on the program board they are encouraged to stop by the Student Activities Office on the second floor of the Skutt Student Center. There they will be able to talk to the front desk receptionist about getting in contact with one of the program board members. The program board has a lot of decision-making power when it comes to choosing who comes to speak, perform or share at Creighton. Most of their events are completely free to the student population.
