If you’re interested in a night full of heart-hurting laughter, get ready for a night with Emmy-nominated comedian Josh Johnson from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. He will perform two shows exclusively for Georgia Tech! Known for his sharp wit, storytelling, and hilarious takes on life, love, and everything in between, Josh delivers comedy that’s both heartfelt and downright hysterical. He’s performing right here on campus at the Ferst Center for the Arts on Thursday, September 25. To reserve your spot feel free to get your tickets on-time before they sell out! The cost for GT students is around $10 - $15 for GT while for staff and faculty it is around $30.
