Comedian Marcello Hernández left the audience in Northrop barreling over and slapping knees Friday night.

The “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) cast member sold out Northrop for his two-and-a-half-hour show on Oct. 25. The comedy show featured host, Matt Richards, and two other comedians, Alexis Carabaño and Emil Wakim, who went on before Hernández.

Richards warmed up the crowd for 15 minutes with a terribly accurate Donald Trump impression and jokes about the vice presidential debate and pandas.

Richards made some dated jokes, but they still worked. He made a joke about the 2023 Chinese spy balloon incident. He said he hoped it was a gender reveal when the government shot it down.

Despite the recycled use of gender reveals in comedy, I laughed.

At this point in the show, the crowd was lively and erupting with laughter. Richards asked the crowd if they wanted to hear a dirty joke or a clean joke.

“Dirty!” the crowd yelled.

Next, Alexis Carabaño hopped up to the microphone and jumped into his set. Carabaño moved through his set rather quickly but filled it with body language and sound effects. It made for an interesting set.

Carabaño’s sound effects were nearly spot on. He moved around a lot and made several awkward stances, grabbing the crotch of his jeans or kicking his legs around, but charmingly displayed his personality with his body language.

Carabaño joked about women knowing too much about astrology, a joke that is overused and not funny anymore. It made me lose a little faith in his set.

Carabaño did mention Frank and Andrea’s, and the crowd responded strongly.

Emil Wakim, a new SNL cast member, went on next. Wakim’s comedy felt like a conversation with a funny friend. He seemed very comfortable on stage.

Wakim appealed to a Midwest crowd easily. He joked about the offensive things said on a boat in the middle of a lake and Carhartt jackets.

“Why do they feel the need to go out there?” Wakim said on stage. “No one goes to the middle of the ocean to say, ‘God, I miss the Obamas.’”

Wakim intelligently jabbed at politics and made jokes about both liberals and conservatives without crossing the line into extreme bias and offensiveness.

After nearly an hour, Marcello Hernández danced up to the microphone in a Gophers basketball jersey. The crowd was hyped.

Running with a bit without tiring it out is Hernández’s biggest strength.

In the middle of a joke about flying on a plane, Hernández was interrupted by a few crowd members. Someone threw a yellow headband on the stage that had “Domingo” written on it. A few people in the back of the crowd were yelling for “Domingo.”

Domingo is a character from a skit in Ariana Grande’s “SNL” episode on Oct. 12 played by Hernández. He sings a song to the beat of “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter. The crowd asked for a reenactment.

Of course, he did the bit.

Although he interacted with the crowd many times, Hernández always seamlessly returned to whatever joke was interrupted.

Hernández made me feel like I was laughing with a friend as well. He reenacted a scene from “Full House” as if it were someone I knew telling me a story.

He discussed the different environments of white and Latino households with clever and relatable humor.

Hernández jokes about how women are less focused on how a potential partner looks, and they just want someone who listens to them. He made jokes about his own attention deficit disorder (ADD) and struggles with listening. Nevertheless, Hernández stated he appreciates women.

“I respect women like people respect the ocean,” Hernández said to the crowd.

Hernández brilliantly made light of current political and social issues, especially among people of color. He talked about what it is like growing up Latino, the Latinx community and mental health in our country.

I was not the only one laughing and slapping my knee. There was a man at the end of my row laughing loudly and unabashedly.

Hernández’s set went on for longer than I thought it would, but I was not upset. He ended the night talking about how women should date “short kings.” He then took some audience questions.

Someone asked how tall he was. Five feet and eight inches tall, Hernández said.

The next crowd member asked him what he was doing later.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Hernández responded.
