The College Union Board hosted its annual Spring Comedy show at Kendall Hall on Feb. 3, with this year's guests being Noel Miller and Connor Wood. The announcement garnered over 3,000 likes on Instagram the week it was posted.
“I was very excited to go to a comedy show and spend time with friends,” said Diane Saint-Louis, a sophomore psychology student.
Both Miller and Wood have amassed major followings across their social media platforms over the years. With Miller surpassing a million followers on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Miller has been creating content and doing comedy for over a decade. Wood has been creating for around six years, with his transition into stand-up comedy more recently.
The two are on separate tours for 2026, with Miller on his “New Supply” tour and Wood on his “Fibs & Friends.” The two stopped by the College in between shows for their tours.
The show, free for all students, began at 8:30 p.m., but wristbands were required. Tickets were handed out starting at 6:30 p.m., and many stayed in line up until doors opened at 7:30 p.m. in attempts to get front row seats.
“We got in line about 30 minutes before CUB started handing out wristbands,” said Abby Eisner, a freshman history and secondary education major. “After we got our wristbands we were able to leave and come back to watch the show.”
The show began with a 45-minute performance by Wood in which he interacted with the crowd, bringing the energy up. He asked the audience what they like about the College and provoked them about the ongoing controversy of if Central Jersey exists.
He began the night by asking what everyone wants to talk about, then prompted the audience by asking if anyone had a New Year’s Eve kiss, and shared an awkward story about his experience. He spent the set talking about various topics like roommates, college, anxiety, living alone, celebrity lookalikes, Valentines Day and singleness.
Before Miller began, Wood ended by reflecting on his favorite Valentine’s Day experience in 2010, which was a middle school dance, and reenacted it with the song “No Hands” playing. “I liked the part in Wood’s set when he talked about his middle school dance,” said Eisner.
After light-hearted laughs and engagement, the audience welcomed Noel Miller on stage for his set at around 9:20 p.m.
Miller’s performance started off his upcoming comedy tour. His set consisted of lively and provocative jokes that kept the audience awake as the night went on.
He would mess with the audience, and called someone out for filming by nonchalantly telling them the quality will be bad, and they should just live in the moment.
He joked mostly about fatherhood and tried out some new jokes at the end, which was a special moment. He also made references to things he has said on his YouTube channel. He ended the show by commending students for choosing to be in college, telling students that this is something not everyone does, and they should be proud.
“I liked the show,” said Saint-Louis, “I appreciate that TCNJ offers students the opportunity to watch popular comedians.”
The event ended at around 10 p.m., leaving the crowd enlivened and in high spirits.
