While many early birds gathered around the stage, some late-comers were forced to fill back-row seats due to the large crowd.
The show started off with an improv performance from MSU's ROIAL Players, an improve theatre company. Who, thanks to the help of an audience member, acted-out short skits with the theme of "fish."
The ROIAL Players covered everything from an awkward break-up due to a dead fish gift, to an arranged marriage gone wrong after a father tries to sell his daughter away for a fish.
Things really got going once Cristela Alonzo hit the stage and rattled off joke after joke. Hitting topics like unique names and the MSU Dairy Store.
Following the performance, Hospitality freshman Sara Schumar waited in line to get an autograph business card from Alonzo.
"I loved her! She was so funny and did a really good job of connecting the jokes," Schumar said.
Schumar said she hopes MSU's UAB continues to bring comedians like Alonzo to campus.
After the show, the comedian tweeted "Michigan State University = amazing. I am lucky I got to play there (but not so lucky because I couldn't taste their ice cream).
