  • Western Carolinian March 24, 1994 Features 11 can o make people laugh Ian Spelling College Press Service Martin Lawrence, you so crazy. Well,maybeand maybenot. Thepopu- lar comedian, who stars in his own hit TV show "Martin," is following in the foot- stepsof idolRichardPryorand friend Eddie Murphy with the release of the concert film, "You So Crazy." In this age of cable TV and home video, releasing a concert film seems risky, especially with repeats of his hosting HBO's "Def Comedy Jam" airing virtually every night So what does Lawrence, relaxing in a suite at a Los Angeles hotel, believe mov iegoers can get for $7 that they can't get at home? "This is in your face," explains Lawrence,almostinstantly. "'YouSoCrazy' is a movie. You feel you're a part of this. You're right up there in my eyes, in my mouth. You see my sweat, every little drip I'm pouring out to the audience. You can get up in a theatre to get popcorn or go to the bathroom, but if I grab you, you won't want to get up." And grab you he does. For 90 minutes, director Thomas Schlamme's cameras capture Lawrence in constant motion, running back and forthacrossthestageofBrooklyn's Majestic Theatre, as he tackles such broad topics as racism then hones in on such personal issues as relationships. It's a tour de force that's as true as it is funny, and, most importantly, it tickles the funny bone of both sexes and all races. "That makes me feel good. You know why?" he asks. "These are people who aren't afraid to say, 'I can hear you and take what you have to say for what I can get out of it.' I love that. I really do." Lawrence reveals that his humor reflects his life and the people he has met since growing up in Maryland. As a kid, family and friends always noted that he had huge eyes, and the comedian, 28, says he used those eyes to absorb everything. "Nothing really gets by me, and I talk about it," he says. "I try to think what is funny to me. It starts in the house, with the women in my life, my grandmother, mother and my sisters. These women have been my mother and fattier. "Athomelwasalwayshumorous. They were always humorous. So,wewereableto sit around and find something humorous in whatever was happening.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive Outdoor Leader Certification through tine Wilderness Education Association and three hours credit. Greg Moore remarked about last year's adventure, "It was a fun trip because you got to spend a month out in the field. But it was really a lot of hard work. We had classes throughout the day. We were usually up until 11:00 writing in our journals or preparing for the next day." T^groupdid not come incontactwithanysnakes,butencounteredseveraldeer. "On one rainy morning," Moore said, "a beer came striding into camp. But as Earl Davis, a head instructor, got his camera out to try to take a picture, the bear left." Dale Kirkham said that this was one of the best outdoor courses that he had ever taken. "The final exam was basically a combination of a self-evaluation, peer evaluation and instructor evaluation. But as a whole, an overall emphasis was placed on learning to teach others."
