2022 UW-Stout Homecoming

Ryan Kelly was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri where he started comedy as an improviser. He was trained at schools such as IO, Second City, UCB and Groundlings. He then ventured off to college where he wanted to try new exciting things, and thus he began his foray into performing stand-up comedy. He is most known for his presence on TikTok (@youthpastorryan) with 4.3 million followers. Ryan can now be found in Hollywood, California where he is a regular host and comedian at Flapper's in Burbank.

Event is first come, first serve, and will be in the Great Hall.

This event is for any one or team who wants to get creative with chalk. You can pick up your chalk from the Involvement Center Desk. You can chalk your square anytime from 10am - 5pm. Once you finish your drawing, take a picture of it and post it on social media using the hashtag #peacestout and you can also tag bdpstout in the post. Judging will take place at 5pm, and the winning design will get featured on BDP and campus social media. In the event of rain, Friday will be used as the rain date.

Ever wonder what it would be like to know what someone else was thinking? What if you knew exactly what someone else was going to do before they did it? Eric Dittelman knows what that's like and has been reading minds at theaters, colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events all across the country. Often known by just his surname, Dittelman combines amazing mind reading with stand - up and improv comedy.

In 2012, he blew audiences away as the first ever mind reader on NBC's "America's Got Talent" where he was a season 7 semi-finalist and judges' favorite. He has since appeared on "Ellen", "Live with Kelly and Ryan" and "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" where Penn called his act "bordering on genius!" He's also been featured in "Entertainment Weekly", "Rolling Stone", and even "The National Enquirer".

He has studied improv comedy with Upright Citizens Brigade, Improv Boston and Second City. He was nominated "Fastest Rising Star" and won 2015's "Best Male Performer Award" by Campus Activities Magazine. In 2018, he made his Broadway debut appearing with "The Illusionists".

Event is first come, first serve, and will be held in the Great Hall.
