Graduating seniors of UB's visual studies program were able to leave their mark on Buffalo's art scene this past weekend in the "4 cm Dilated: The Exit Show" exhibition.
In lieu of all the stress and confusion associated with upcoming exams and the plethora of events for Spirit Week, many students' hearts were lightened on Friday as Craig Ferguson of CBS's Late Late Show entertained his audience with a hilarious and high-energy evening of comedy.Ferguson's stage presence was in full gear at the Center for the Arts' Mainstage Theatre, where he was dripping with energy and enthusiasm (or was that sweat?).His constant movement and mannerisms were reminiscent of the hyperactive greats like Jim Breuer or Robin Williams, but perhaps slightly less drug-induced.Ferguson was unashamed to recount his life story before the audience in his own funny fashion; from an early childhood spent with his crazy mother, to his experiences in rehab due to alcoholism, to his goal of becoming an American citizen, the brunt of Ferguson's critical and sometimes-contradictory humor was most often directed at himself.
