Every Friday the Maine Attraction brings a comedian to the campus, and this week that comedian is Ronnie Jordan. Jordan, who is currently touring Northeast colleges and universities, is probably unknown to most people around Orono.
Jordan has done little work on television so far and has yet to gain major national exposure, but those who are die-hard fans of BET’s stand-up comedy show, “Comic View” may remember his face.
Fans of “American Idol” may enjoy Jordan’s routine, as one of his main gags is an imitation of the former Idol winner, Ruben Studdard. To bring out the true Ruben with his impersonation, Jordan dons what is known as a “driving cap” that the large singer made famous in the second season of “Idol.” Jordan then puts on what he refers to as his “Ruben face.”
Jordan will also be taking part in the upcoming show “P. Diddy presents the Bad Boys of Comedy Tour.” The tour is a spin-off of the hit HBO series, and will follow the same format. It will still have Doug E. Fresh as the host. Jordan is just one of the many young comedians performing.
Ronnie Jordan is set to perform this Friday, Feb. 10 in the Main Dining Room in Memorial Union. The show starts at 9 p.m. and admission is free. The Maine Attraction is sponsored by Campus Activities and Events.
