* According to Comedians at Law

Last Friday, the University of Pennsylvania Law School had their reunion in Philadelphia on their luxurious campus. Adding to the luxury was the presence of a powerhouse trio from Comedians at Law. All three had close connections to University of Pennsylvania:

Matt “Hollywood” Ritter – Class of 2005 UPenn Law

Alex “I love it when you call me small poppa” Barnett – Class of 1928 UPenn undergrad

J-L “Life’s a B and then you D” Cauvin – once dated a Jewish woman

Matt flew in from LA, while Alex and J-L took the 14 hour NJ Transit-to Septa trip from NYC to Philadelphia. When the trio arrived at the Law School they were all impressed with the elegance of the affair, but a little nervous of their potential audience. The average age appeared to be life support. Although he usually closes the shows, J-L hosted, partly in an effort to intimidate people to pay attention and about half way through his set they did. That may also have been helped by the fact that an attractive female bartender went from a revealing tank top to a more conservative button down shirt with tie during his set.

After getting people from the classes of 1907 and 2007 and everyone in between to laugh and focus, J-L yielded the stage to Alex Barnett who slayed the crowd and then had a generous serving of brown liquor afterward. Matt then jumped on stage to close the show and killed it, aided by the fact that his own brother, also an alumnus of Penn Law, was in attendance beaming with pride (or just buzzed off of the free booze).

After the show the trio shook hands, kissed babies and went their separate ways. Matt hung out with his brother and Alex and J-L went to an Irish pub near 30th Street Station where they received no discount off of their bill, despite making the waitress laugh repeatedly.

Thanks to UPenn Law and all the alums who sat and laughed and made us feel good about our decision to pursue comedy, despite being better than us.
