“Corey felt like part of the family when he was here back in 2015,” said Rick Ross, associate dean for athletics and student life.

“Everyone loved him. He’s not only a polished and professional comedian, but he’s a genuinely funny guy. We’re excited to have him back.”

Rodrigues was selected as one of TBS’s “Comics to Watch” at the New York Comedy Fest. He also was voted “Best of the Fest” at the Big Pine Comedy Festival.

In 2018, he released his “Dry Bar” comedy special that has been viewed more than 40 million times online.

He has been featured on Gotham Live, Laughs on Fox and True TV’s Laff Mobbs Laff Tracks.

Growing up in Milton, Mass., Rodrigues learned to imitate voices in the hallways at school and went from entertaining his friends at a young age to entertaining audiences all over the country, orgnaizers said.
