Jay Leno to Perform at UB on April 12

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Comedian and "Tonight" show host Jay Leno will perform at 8 p.m. April 12 in Alumni Arena on the University at Buffalo North (Amherst) Campus as part of the undergraduate Student Association's Comedy Series.

Tickets, priced at $40 for floor and $20 for bleachers for general admission and $20 for floor and $10 for bleachers for students, are on sale in the Sub-Board I ticket office, 341 Student Union, and at all Tickets.com locations.

As host of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" since 1987, Leno has created his own unique style with a combination of humor, talk and entertainment each weeknight at 11:35 p.m. -- a time when viewers want to wind down with a few laughs before heading off to sleep.

Leno's "everyman" style and personality have helped him earn millions of fans all over the world, but mostly at home in the United States, where people can relate to his personable style and hard-working attitude. He has been touted as one of the nicest people in show business and the hardest-working: a winning combination for the man who says, "anyone can have a life, careers are hard to comedy!"

One of the country's premier comedians, Leno has appeared in hundreds of comedy shows around the United States for the past 30 years. He remains passionate about performing in front of live audiences and appears regularly in Las Vegas, on college campuses around the United States and in other venues, including for U.S. troops stationed abroad.

Leno and his wife, Mavis, live in Los Angeles. In his spare time, Leno enjoys working on his collection of classic cars and motorcycles.
