Upcoming Events

Comedian Pete Lee! Check out this Late Night Comedian on Saturday, August 28 at 10 PM in the Rozsa! 
Pete Lee might be the nicest person in New York City, but that’s because it’s impossible to sound aggressive with a Wisconsin accent. Pete was raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, which is probably why he pursued a career in entertainment. Thanks to his highly rated Comedy Central Presents half hour special, Pete has packed venues at over 500 colleges and universities across the country. Pete has also been a standout on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and played a doctor on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns. You won’t want to miss this event!
