Comedian Michael Ian Black will speak at the Syracuse University campus on Oct. 30, said Clarence Cross III, president of University Union.

Black was featured in the popular VH1 series ‘I Love The ’70s,’ ‘I Love the ’80s’ and ‘I Love The ’90s.’ He also starred in Comedy Central’s ‘Stella’ and commercials for Sierra Mist.

‘I’ll call it a comedic lecture,’ Cross said, who expects Black to give an in-depth look at American pop culture, rather than a traditional stand-up comedy presentation.

The lecture will be at the Schine Student Center in Goldstein Auditorium, Cross said. Tickets go on sale Oct. 16.

The act is sponsored by UU Speakers and Hillel, he said.
