“Drake & Josh” star Josh Peck and hypnotist Brian Imbus will be performing at the final ISU AfterDark event of the semester this Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Imbus will perform at 9 p.m. followed by Peck at 11 p.m.

Peck, best known for his role in the hit Nickelodeon show “Drake & Josh,” will be answering questions in a Q&A that will give audience members a glimpse into both his personal and professional life.

Since “Drake & Josh,” Peck has worked in a myriad of movies including the 2012 horror movie “ATM,” the 2012 “Red Dawn” remake and a recurring role as Eddie in the “Ice Age” franchise. Peck found internet fame on Vine and started a comedic vlog channel on YouTube, where he has nearly 3 million subscribers.

“We generate ideas of who we want to bring for AfterDark,” said Diego Bonilla, sophomore in event management and the Student Union Board’s Multicultural Awareness co-director. “We started thinking about Josh Peck last semester and talked to see what fits best for us.”

Preceding Peck will be hypnotist, Brian Imbus. Imbus has been performing for colleges and other organizations for over twenty years. He has hypnotized over 100,000 people throughout the course of his career and his energetic shows always amaze.

“I’ve been visiting Iowa State for the past ten years,” Imbus said. “The energy that the students bring to the show, their excitement, it rivals any other college that I visit. I’m excited to bring some brand new material to the show that you’ve never seen before.”

Imbus says his show is sure to astonish those who attend, as well as those who are brave enough to be one of his volunteers on stage.

Entry and all activities held during ISU AfterDark are free for all participants. In addition to the performers, there will also be caricature drawings, bingo, a photo booth, free Panda Express, bowling, billiards, karaoke and a chance to win $1,000 in a lottery drawing.
