Letter to the Editor
Last week, the Laugh Pack, the comedy club at St. Bonaventure University, held a very disappointing stand-up comedy open mic. Multiple people got up and left after they felt offended by some of the jokes our comedians told to the audience. As the club leader, I send out my deepest apologies to anyone that felt offended or uncomfortable anytime during the event.
A comedy open mic is to make people laugh—not upset. The comedians who participated in the event also send their apologies. It was not their goal to make people feel uncomfortable or offended. All they wanted to do was make people laugh and smile. Yes, things could have been left unsaid but we all have to move forward. We, as the Laugh Pack, are good people. It was not our intention to disappoint the people at this school. We are truly sorry that we let you all down. It is my duty that this will never happen again.
