Actor and comedian Josh Peck, best known for his role in Nickelodeon’s “Drake & Josh,” will host a Q&A-style comedy show at Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center on Nov. 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The free event, hosted by ASI Events, is open exclusively to Cal Poly students. Attendees must present a valid PolyCard, government-issued photo ID and ticket to enter.
Online ticket registration opens Nov. 10 at 10 a.m through the PAC ticket office. In-person ticket registration will not be available.
Peck has also appeared in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and HBO’s “The Last of Us.” Beyond acting, he hosts the “Good Guys” podcast and wrote the memoir “Happy People Are Annoying.”
Peck is expected to discuss his experiences with childhood fame, addiction and career changes, using humor to reflect on personal challenges and connect with his audience.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask Peck questions about his career, personal experiences and transition from child actor to adult performer.
Gianna Vasquez, a communication studies senior, said she learned about the event through ASI’s Instagram account.
”I think that he’s a cool guy and he’s been a big part of my childhood watching Drake & Josh,” Vasquez said.
Danel Darwin, a business administration senior, said he was familiar with Peck but had not heard about his upcoming appearance at Cal Poly.
“I’m somewhat familiar with him. I didn’t know he was coming to campus. I know Cal Poly puts on a lot of cool events,” Darwin said.
