Homecoming Variety Show to be hosted at BBC

By: Samantha Serra/Contributing Writer
The University’s Homecoming Council is presenting its second annual Homecoming Variety Show on Sept. 28 at the Wolfe University Center theatre at the Biscayne Bay Campus. Doors open at 7:30pm and starts at 8:00pm.
The show will consist of performances from members of the Metropolis entertainment group, such as Mike Bliss and the Incredible Bliss Kids. Mike Bliss and his two sons, Zachary and Stephen, are a family act that brings unicycling, magic and mind reading acts to the stage.

Bliss has been performing for over 20 years and has also been featured on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” alongside his sons where they were among the top 35 out of 100,000 performers.  Zachary and Stephen are billed as two of the youngest kids in the country performing their mind reading act. Zachary is also known for being one of the youngest professional jugglers in the United States.

One of the tricks the group is known for is to stop students on the college campuses they’ve performed at across the campus and correctly guess the contents within book bags, purses and wallets.

“I’ve seen his videos online and I am really excited to see what he does on stage,” said Anarella Bulgini, junior psychology major.

Accompanying the family of magicians is Kenneth “Xclusive” Paryo.

A dancer since the age of 13, this triple threat captivates the audience with his comedic timing, unique dance moves and music mixes.

Originally, Paryo wasn’t a fan of showing off his talents until he was also featured on “America’s Got Talent”, where Judges David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan were quick to compliment his audition, highlighting  how talented he was as a performer.

Xclusive has opened up for rapper Trey Songz, and his performances can be seen on YouTube.

When asked about the event, Campus Life Graduate Assistant Wolfgang Acevedo seemed very enthusiastic, saying the show will be “as big as possible.”

Tickets are available at the Modesto A. Maidique Campus in the Graham Center room 2240 and at BBC WUC 141 on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are free for all FIU students with giveaways being distributed at the event.
