8 P.M.: Comedian Craig Robinson comes to Plachta

At 8 p.m., comedian and “The Office” actor Craig Robinson took the Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium audience of more than 900 on a hilarious musical journey.

Robinson, a Chicago native, plays the character “Darryl Philbin” in the hit NBC comedy series.

His opening act was Canadian comic Dylan Mandlsohn, who delivered a rousing performance full of amusing impressions and edgy witticisms.

Robinson began the show by sitting down at a keyboard and playing an instrumental version of “If You’re Happy and You Know it,” only breaking his silence to upbraid the
audience for clapping their hands when they should have stomped their feet.

At one point, he asked what the Central Michigan University nickname was, which several students answered exuberantly.

“That is slightly more intimidating. ChippeWAAUGH!” Robinson said.
