Happy Hour, a weekly event hosted by Programming Board, brought comedian D’Lai to the stage of the Kessel Multipurpose Room on Thur. Feb. 25.

The Los Angeles based stand-up comic used his unique brand of relatable comedy in order to entertain the Pace students in attendance.

It did not seem as though the jokester had a set of jokes ready for the crowd. Instead, he derived his material from talking to the audience and working with what they would say.

One part of the show derived from asking who in the audience was a native New Yorker. From this he joked about how people in the city do not care about anyone but themselves, and he is not used to it being from Los Angeles.

The comic also asked for people’s nationalities. One audience member mentioned he was originally from Trinidad and Tobago and D’Lai went into a humorous story about an ex-girlfriend of his that was from Trinidad as well. The story went about how he had been seeing this girl for a couple of months but decided to call things off. When he did break up with her, she took it a little too well and left his place much to his pleasure. After going out for the night and bringing home another woman, his ex-girlfriend shows up outside his apartment in the rain asking him to open the door and tell her who is in there with him.

“She was too beautiful to not be crazy,” he joked. “I should’ve seen it coming.”

Afterwards he asked the audience to clap if they were single. After a couple of people in the audience put their hands together in answer, he noticed one girl in the audience was a bit too enthusiastic for his taste. He went on to joke that even though we may act like it is fun to be single while we are out doing crazy things, as soon as we get into the privacy of our own dorms behind closed doors, we turn into a blubbering mess asking the universe to send us someone.

Another joke had a life lesson attached to it about the dangers of drinking and driving.

D’Lai recalled one time he was at a frat party and drank too many shots of Jägermeister and decided to drive himself home.

He was so drunk that he pulled himself over and did the cop’s job for him.

D’lai has been a part of many stand-up comedy completions and winning many, including “Star Search Las Vegas” in 2004. He is very active on social media for those that are interested in his material and following him. He can be found on Instagram and Twitter @itsdlai and on Facebook through the page “Comedian Dee Lai”. He also has a YouTube channel where he posts different comedy skits often (DLAITV).

Happy Hour is a weekly event held in the Kessel Student Center on Thursdays. Next week the event welcomes Kristen Merlin, a singer who placed third on the hit TV singing completion The Voice.
