FUNNY, continues from page 15 Mellard began his comedy career because of his love for pranking people. During his short time as a student on campus, he recalls scribbling on blue books while drinking fake Nyquil, running through campus after a phony drug deal gone band and even assembling the Nicole Kidman Foundation to help the actress get back on her feet after splitting with Tom Cruise. This year, Mellard has his own strategies to keep the crowd interested in his performance. “I decided I didn’t want to take too much attention away from my jokes, so I’m going to finish where last year’s performance left off: I’m going to hit the stage as a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm,” Mellard said. While FFF Fest may initially attract you for its solid list of musical performances, be sure to check out Mellard on Saturday and Nazer on Sunday because, as Nazer said, “It’s like show-and-tell for grownups.”
