Alfred and Seymour, a dancing duo wearing matching red outfits, told jokes while doing back-flips in the Student Center, Main Floor, last Tuesday.

The Union Board presented the Los Angeles dancing comedians to entertain Tech students for free.

"I've been here three years and this was the most entertaining show I've seen at Tech," Shannin Watkins, a junior medical technology major, said. "They were so full of energy."

Tech students were not the only ones to recognize these hip-hop dancers' comedic talent.

Jay Leno featured their talent on the "Tonight Show," and Jenny Jones had them as guests on her show as well.

NBC showcased their dancing, as did MTV and Nickelodeon.

While at Tech, the men did several comedic dance skits starting with "Black Street Boys," complete with their own music.

Their second and third skits covered some juggling and a magic act with a watch.

"They are definitely something original and different," Nkem Aziken, a senior medical technology major, said.

Some more of their different comedy routines included a lot of audience participation, talking to all students who straggled in late to their performance.

Talking to students faded into funk music.

The music was an introduction into yet another audience participation piece, getting students to dance with them on stage and be the butt of several strings of jokes.

The target of their next gag was some Tech police officers who were standing watch.

The police jokes faded into their next skit of cops and some more in-sync dancing.

"I'm a dancer, so I know all the dancing they were doing took a lot of energy and talent," Watkins said.

Not only could the audience voluntarily participate with the comedic couple, they were also singled out.

"I think the guys were funny even when they were picking on me," Randy Lewis, a junior computer information systems major, said. "The joking was all in good fun."

A life lesson talk followed up the performance.

"People need to learn to laugh at their adversities and everyone would be much happier," Alfred said.

Lewis said he had a great time, even at the end.

"In the end it was still great with the positive message," he said.

Watkins said she agrees with Lewis about the performance.

"I was stressed about a test and other stuff before I came to watch the comedians," she said. "I am so glad I came."
