Program Council

Los Angeles-based comedian, writer and creator Connor Wood will perform a Homecoming comedy show on Wednesday, Oct. 29. The show will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the University Memorial Center’s Glenn Miller Ballroom. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Best known for his sharp, self-aware humor and effortless charisma both online and on stage, Wood has become one of comedy’s most distinct emerging voices, turning everyday chaos, identity and internet absurdity into laugh-out-loud moments of connection.

Originally from Austin, Texas, he first gained widespread recognition through his viral sketches and commentary as @fibulaa on TikTok, where his smart, relatable take on modern life earned him a devoted following and millions of views. He co-hosts the hit podcast “Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast” with Brooke Averick, a fan favorite for its off-the-cuff banter and comedic chemistry.

Wood has since brought his signature style to the stage, touring across the country with his live show “Fib & Friends,” which continues to sell out venues nationwide. His blend of vulnerability, dry humor and timing has earned him praise from outlets including GQ, VICE, People and Our Era Magazine, who have highlighted his unique ability to make digital-era comedy feel both deeply personal and universally funny.

Joey Valence & Brae

Joey Valence & Brae is a Pennsylvania-based hip hop duo known for their high-energy sound and playful throwback to the golden era of rap. Blending old-school boom bap with modern flair, the duo quickly gained attention for their infectious charisma and clever lyricism. Their breakout track, “Punk Tactics,” released in 2022, became a viral hit, showcasing their signature mix of hard-hitting beats, witty bars and chaotic fun. The duo’s music often nods to legends like Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, while still feeling fresh and uniquely their own. Tracks like “Double Jump” and “Watch Yo Step” highlight their ability to create adrenaline-fueled anthems that resonate with both nostalgic hip hop fans and new listeners alike. Since their debut, Joey Valence & Brae have toured extensively and earned praise from outlets such as NME and Rolling Stone, who commended the duo for reinvigorating classic rap elements with Gen Z irreverence. Their latest project, No Hands, has further cemented their reputation as bold, genre-bending artists who don’t take themselves too seriously, while still delivering undeniable bangers.

Kaliii

Kaliii is an Atlanta-born rapper making waves with her confident delivery, sharp lyricism, and unapologetic attitude. Bursting onto the scene with her viral hit “Area Codes,” Kaliii quickly established herself as a bold new voice in Southern rap. Her music blends infectious hooks with punchy, no-nonsense bars, drawing influence from the likes of Trina and Missy Elliott while carving out a lane that’s entirely her own. In 2023, Kaliii released her breakout project Toxic Chocolate, earning critical acclaim for its fierce energy and emotionally layered tracks. Songs like “Standards” and “BOZO” showcase her ability to balance vulnerability with swagger, offering a refreshingly honest take on modern relationships and self-worth.

WHIPPED CREAM

Blending elements of hip hop, trap, and experimental bass, she’s carved out a space in electronic music that’s dark, cinematic, and emotionally charged.
