Reading time: about 4 minutesComedian Eric André brought his unhinged and boundary-pushing humor to a packed Bailey Hall Friday night, blending stand-up, audience pranks and a moderated interview while reviewing his old comedy clips. Gaines warmed up the audience with observations about campus life, gentrification and the particular texture of the Ivy League air. Midway through the show, André was joined onstage by Jacob Irons ’27 for a Q&A segment that quickly devolved into André hijacking Irons’ phone — and, at André's request, Irons' shirt. André had Irons share his phone number aloud to the auditorium, leading attendees to spam Irons’ texts while his screen was being displayed for all in Bailey to see. The show lasted just under two hours, and as the crowd filed out of Bailey Hall, it was clear that seven years between visits was far too long.
