9:15pm FDU Comedy Night with…Robbie Printz! Dreyfuss Auditorium
  Robbie Printz has been seen on NBC, MTV, and Comedy Central. Robbie won the 2002 Boston Comedy Festival. The Boston Herald wrote, "Printz delivered another red-hot set…" and The Telegraph wrote, "every time he talks, people laugh – nonstop." Robbie has performed at the best comedy clubs across the nation (including Caroline's and The Improv), as well as numerous colleges and corporate events. His performance is a reminder of childhood wonders and adulthood absurdities; delivered with high energy and a fast pace that keeps audiences laughing from start to finish.
