SNL comedians Aidy Bryant and Leslie Jones are coming to Athens to perform for Sibs weekend.
Aidy Bryant is scheduled to make the leap from 30 Rockefeller Center to Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium to perform during Sibs Weekend.
The SNL comedian and a guest to be announced will take the stage February 6 as part of the Performing Arts and Concert Series. Tickets go on pre-sale Tuesday for Concert Connection members and Thursday for the general public.
Leslie Jones, another SNL cast member, was scheduled to perform but cancelled her appearance.
Bryant has been on the show for two seasons. During her time on SNL, she has played recurring characters such as Morgan on "Girlfriends Talk Show", "Tonkerbell", and "Worst Lady on an Airplane".
Bryant co-wrote and starred in the 2013 sketch "(Do It On My) Twin Bed", which was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. The music video was followed up in November of 2014 with "Back Home Ballers."
The Performing Arts Series has hosted comedians in the past such as Billy Gardell, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman and Seth Myers.
Tickets will cost $25 for the first 10 rows and $15 for the remainder.
