MARTIN MULL by Lucille Del Tufo Photos by John Christostomou, Dan McIntyre Martin Mull, a satirical comedian, appeared with his fabulous furniture on October 3 in the Main Lounge. His furnishings consisted of a cushioned Chair, an end table, a lamp, an ashtray and an am- ple supply of cigarettes and Heineken Beer. When I think of audiences the blond-haired comic remarked , I ' ll remember this one. He immediately assured the rather small audience, I take my act almost anywhere in the country, not simply in this area. Calling Seton Hall a religious school, he also promised to tone it down a little. Accompanied on the piano by Ed Wise, Mull proved his own musical ability with a Gibson guitar. He was well aware of and affected by his surround- ings and commented on the 45 photographers snap- ping pictures and the music coming from (the mixer) downstairs. His act was mainly composed of original songs that reflected on various aspects of America today, includ- ing Portable Housing, Country Music, Civil Rights and Midgets. He did a special gospel song for the religious school and also directed the audi- ence in a sing-a-long. A loaf of French bread, check- ered tablecloth and hat and scarf were additional props for his Parisienne song which said, It ' s hard to say au revoir, let ' s just say hor d ' eurves. When I think of audiences, the blond-haired comic remarked, I ' ll remember this one. Judging from the audience ' s response, they too, will long re- member Martin Mull. 23
