A night marked by ill-received comedy, frozen snacks, and— of course— good music, this year’s Battle of the Bands has concluded. In the end, The Third Estate won the student’s hearts and will perform at OzFest.

Perhaps the strangest part of the Battle of the Bands was the comedian. Between sets, Ryan O’Flanagan entertained the crowd. His jokes covered a variety of topics from American politics to sexual activities, and many more which didn’t seem to satisfy students.

Throughout the entire event, many students expressed their dislike for his comedy. Many even went so far as to yell for him to leave the stage on numerous occasions. 

Regardless of the odd event between sets, Ospreys seemed to thoroughly enjoy this year’s Battle of the Bands. Look for The Third Estate at next year’s OzFest!
