Comedy Club at Millersville Offers Laughs and Breaks from Studies

Are you tired from studying and cramming for finals. Would you cherish a good laugh? The Millersville Comedy Club might has the cure. Comedy stints every other Wednesday night in Dutcher Hall at 8:30 p.m. That is where the Snapper newspaper stumbled upon its new upcoming comedian Freddie Heinemann.

Freddie Heinemann, a sophomore Biology major, has spent his life making people laugh whether it be on stage or just his off-hand comments. Heinemann improved when his favorite teacher in high school helped and inspired him to share his life experiences on the stage. From that point in his life, he has taken comedy seriously by practicing for approximately three hours, three to four times a week.

Having only started performing in May of 2009, he has grown not only enjoy this venue due to heckling. This is when Heinemann decided to try performing for the Millersville Comedy Club, and had his first standup comedy performance on campus just last week. Heinemann loved his first performance saying, “I was nervous and embarrassed but there was a great crowd here and it went really well.” He discussed his humorous personal experiences and stories which the crowd really enjoyed.

Millersville’s Comedy Club is open to new members by audition at the beginning of each semester. The organization can be reached through Facebook or by contacting the Directors Bob Grube and Jeff Wafthal directly. Auditions are open to everyone regardless of major and last semester forty percent of students who auditioned made the group. Look for a new group on campus called the Theatre of the Oppressed which deals with serious improv.
