His classical approach of the instrument brings a new light to the guitar’s potential.

Comedian
On March 23, a comedian will be coming to ETSU’s campus! Lucas Bohn will be showcasing his gig in the D.P. Culp University Center Cave at 7 p.m. His energetic energy between schoolboy charm and witty remarks is an easy-going humor relatable for all ages. His stand-up has taken him far, having performed with big name stars such as Kevin Hart and Jimmy Fallon. His outstanding impersonations are his known quirk and reminds us all that laughing at others is almost as fun as laughing at ourselves.

If you think about him, see him, or say his name, everything’s over. He will come for you, and there’s no escape once he’s in your head. On March 24, “The Bye-Bye Man” will be showing in the D.P.
