Black has invited St. Bonaventure's own Sean O'Shea to open for him next year if Black returns for another performance. O'Shea is a freshman philosophy major and expressed interest in playing guitar as Black's opening act.
"He was definitely the best comedian we have had perform, and I'm very excited for the opportunity to be his opening act," O'Shea said.
Moving toward bigger and better things, Black has caught the attention of some Hollywood bigwigs. Johnny Knoxville, a comedic personality, is looking over Black's screenplay for a future project. Black was unable to give more details about the screenplay.
This may be the next big break for the rising star as he tours the country until May, performing on hundreds of campuses.
Black hopes he will be able to meet his idols and fellow comedians Chris Rock and Greg Giraldo.
"Chris Rock is so good; he is a Michelangelo while I am a caricaturist. He is on a whole different level as I aspire to be as good as he is. As for Greg Giraldo, I must confess to a man-crush," Black admitted.
Black has adapted to the 21st century. He has a MySpace account where fans can request a free 45-minute CD of his act and may even be able to get free tickets to one of his comedy acts.
"This show is about putting you in a good mood. All that I ask is that you take it and put it in your pocket, because the world is full of evil s***- most of it in your head."
