Tufts University will join the ranks of Jon Stewart, Battlebots, Mr. Hanky, and old Saturday Night Live reruns as part of Comedy Central's programming for an evening. The Boston episode of Insomniac with Dave Attell which airs tonight at 10:30 p.m. features a few minutes of Attell's stand-up routine from last Fall's Comedy show.
The random clips include Attell's riffing on the complexities dorm life, Q-tips, cuddling, and shit jokes. After a bit of bantering with some of the Cohen audience's more vociferous young ladies whom he eventually labels "the whores," the show cuts to Attell walking out of Aidekman, where he invites his viewers to let their "powedered wigs down" and join the party. And that's the last of Tufts, our 15 minutes of fame measured a tad closer to two and a half.
The rest of the show features, among other adventures, a trip to the Harvard Square pit to chat it up with a few pro-marijuana protesters. Later, Attell visits some unknown college's Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat party, takes a few beers through the funnel, and catches a peep at two young coeds eager to show their true colors.
From there Attell investigates the Beacon Hill Pub, a bathhouse where he chats it up with a bunch of old fat naked guys, the Marshall House, the Sam Adams statue with a pint of the beer in hand, and finally the ever so-ripe Chelsea Creek Headworks sewage Treatment plant.
And to think that very evening of perverse drunken revelry started with a few hours in Cohen Auditorium. What a way to get things rolling.
