Oh, Those Sleepless Nights

By Sukhraj Singh

Your average Friday night in Isla Vista may very well involve sex, dark lights, drunken humor and late hours, but you've probably never experienced anything on the level of Improvathon. With 24 hours of straight comedy, ...

I’ve Come to Reclaim Your Country On Behalf of Her Majesty, Queen of England

By Sukhraj Singh

Best of the Fest

By Sukhraj Singh

By Sukhraj Singh

To the four of you reading this; thank you for taking time out to look at my drivel. Changing up my usual humorous take on American life, I feel I have to play a serious note this week by addressing something that has be...

“English” Food Hardly Resembles British Counterparts

By Sukhraj Singh

You are all being lied to this very minute. Every food store that you know of is lying to you as you read this. They claim to sell "English Muffins" and "English Scones." Now, I don't know about you, but my definition of...

Stringent Stores Nix Coors for Foreigners

By Sukhraj Singh

Apart from forcing my friends and family to come to this page, I'm convinced no one is actually reading this of their own accord -- but I'm going to carry on anyway. Some of you reading this may not have a passport.

Flash Mob Announces Annual Extravaganza Lineup

Steeling the Show

By Sukhraj Singh

Let's be honest. "Spiderman" was very cheesy. Tobey Maguire crying is a very funny sight. Kirsten Dunst is not that attractive. "X3" seriously lost its way by the end, after promising so much. And "Iron Man"? Do you reme...

I’ve Come to Reclaim Your Country On Behalf of Her Majesty, Queen of England

By Sukhraj Singh

Last week I went to the movies. And there's not a lot I like more than snacking on some sweet popcorn to go along with some action packed movie-ness. Except, you guys don't do sweet popcorn. Can you guess how that makes ...

If Your Mother Only Knew

By Sukhraj Singh

Rahzel - arguably the world's greatest beatboxer - provided some absolutely dynamite entertainment last Friday at The Hub. And that would have made for a fine night on its own, but the lucky few who made an effort to att...

I’ve Come to Reclaim Your Country on Behalf of Her Majesty, Queen of England

By Sukhraj Singh
