Sampson McCormick is a nationally touring, award winning stand-up comedian, writer and activist who makes audiences double over in laughter whether he’s joking about his wacky Aunt Jackie or homophobia, poverty, and religion. For over a decade, he has been a favorite at LGBT pride festivals and mainstream venues alike. Join us on Friday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Milliken Auditorium for “What’s Real: Being Gay in Black America” a hilarious stand-up special for a night of riveting, refreshing, and original takes on religion, sexuality, life and politics.
