Students gathered in Boll Theater Friday night to see comedian Stevie Jay's one man performance of 'Life, Love, Sex, Death ' and Other Works in Progress.'

The show was simply Jay telling stories about everything from relationships to sexual orientation to first dates. He told tales about his everyday life experiences that usually involved meeting men and women, which actually left the audience guessing about his own sexual preference.

While Jay was energetic and outgoing, myself along with the dwindling audience, just weren't buying it. He riffs on life, love and sex like a musician improvising on his instrument moving from one idea to another. But, for me, it never worked its way into a complete song.

It was a strange and monotonous mix of too much unconnected psycho-sexual babble. One thing Jay spoke a lot about was the gay community. He even told a story about his experience marching in the Gay Pride Parade.

'I was visiting the different sections of the gay parade,' he said. 'You see, everybody doesn't march together ' it's homo-sectional.'

So, if you think that's funny, maybe you would have liked the entire performance.

Frankly, I thought Jay's humor was a little juvenile and he was simply rehashing material that we all heard in the seventh grade.

In fact, much of his material seemed to be weak attempts to copy the musings of Woody Allen'who is the only person capable of mastering the portrayal of life as a series of encounters with one's own neurotic insecurities.

It seems Jay has been fine tuning this show for a number of years and, like his life, is still a work in progress. As for me, I'm not planning to stick around to see how it works out in the end. And based on the number of people that walked out of the performance early, I'm not alone.
