"I'm a bit nervous but quite excited all in all,” Reid says. “Will I win? Maybe. Maybe it will just be a moral victory, which, hey, that's alright too. I'll appreciate any support I can get. Either way, I'm pretty sure this will be relatively incredible."

 

32 schools from around the U.S. battled it out to find the funniest college students in the country. It's down to four stand-up comics at the Aspen finals for the Funniest College Student title. Reid joins Kathleen O’Brien of the University of Virginia, Tim Ball of Duke and Mary Sasson of UNC Chapel Hill. A live broadcast of the Aspen event can be seen on RooftopComedy.com. One of the Aspen Four will be named the winner and receive $1,500.

 

Reid thanks all the people who have voted for him in previous rounds and asks for your support in this final competition.
