Steve Hofstetter at Mahoney's

The first, and hopefully not the last, comedy show at Mahoney’s Irish Pub and Restaurant was held Thursday, April 1. Steve Hofstetter, the original columnist for Collegehumor.com and touring comedian, was the headliner.

Hofstetter was not against making fun of any topic; Twilight, abortion, race and Walmart employees were all part of the show. The Marist crowd including those who took advantage of discount tickets that were given out to college students in order to promote the comedian to colleges. There was a Vassar crowd there as well, across the room with about three tables and the stage in between. They understood less of the more intellectual jokes than the Marist students (or so the opening comedian observed, and later thanked the Marist students for).

Hofstetter currently hosts “The Sports Minute (Or So)”, formerly hosted “Four Quotas” on Sirius radio for two years, and was a weekly columnist for Sports Illustrated and the NHL. He has appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," the syndicated "Comics Unleashed," E's "True Hollywood Story," Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood," ESPN's "Quite Frankly," VH1's "The Countdown," CW's "The Daily Buzz", and G4's "Attack of the Show.”

His first album was “Dark Side of the Room”, the first ever pay-what-you-want album, “since it was going to be stolen anyway.” It is currently available as a free download for the first 1 million students . “Cure for the Cable Guy,” his second album, reached #20 on the comedy charts. His third album was recently released, titled, “National Lampoon’s Balls!” He has also written three books.
