In this second installment of the Matrix series, Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, and the rest of their crew continue to battle the machines that have enslaved the human race in the Matrix.

Eric O’Shea, a two-time National Comedian of the Year nominee by the National Association for Campus Activities and veteran performer of over 300 colleges and universities, will bring his stand-up comedy act to the Farinon Snack Bar 10 p.m. tomorrow. Sponsored by Lafayette Activities Forum, the event is free and open to the campus community.
According to his press materials, O’Shea “takes his audience back to some of the best times of life — youth. His clean wit and priceless observations pick up where home movies leave off. Amidst all the innocence creeps in the embarrassment, the childhood antics, the humor, the memories of some awkward, hilarious situations. O’Shea’s targets don’t stop there. He brings to life the cast of Seinfeld — with a twist — as they were in kindergarten. From family reunions to board games, from shopping with Mom to sibling squabbles, his animated, clever humor turns back the clock, while putting a unique perspective on life.”
