Bye Bye Liver: The Milwaukee Drinking Play
Posted by Jimbo Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 2:12 PM
We all know that one girl who should never, ever drink liquor (but does)...or the guy who, after two beers, can't shut up about his ex-girlfriend (from five years ago). Whether it's inadvertently "breaking the seal" or horrible drunk texting, we've all been there...and it's all celebrated right here in Bye Bye Liver: The Milwaukee Drinking Play. In addition, the show weaves interactive social games throughout the play which will have you laughing, singing, and perhaps getting to know the people next to you a bit more than you would have ever imagined (or wanted to).
Bye Bye Liver features Milwaukee's finest comedy and sketch artists and has one goal in mind: Taking the audience on an interactive comedic romp through the joys and pitfalls of Milwaukee's favorite past time: Drinking!
The show runs Friday and Saturday evenings at 9:00pm at Mi-Key's on Cathedral Square (811 N. Jefferson St.) beginning February 12, 2010. Mi-Key's will feature buckets of beer and cocktail specials exclusive to Bye Bye Liver guests. Tickets may be purchased by visiting ByeByeLiver.com or by calling 414.312.4388. 21+, $12 at the door or visit ByeByeLiver.com or call 414.312.4388

Hardcore Comedy Show: An Interview with Mel
Posted by Beth Lewinski on November 24, 2009
Bay View’s Cactus Club is known for bringing in acts that rock and audiences that are ready for something beyond the standard entertainment. One year ago, they started doing this in a new way, when they paired with Hardcore Comedy Show to bring local comedians in to rock the room with laughs. We spoke to Mel Fleming, one of the founders of the Hardcore Comedy Show, who you may know as the human half of Mel & Blossom, about the partnership.
Tell me the basics about the Hardcore Comedy Show.
“The Hardcore Comedy Show is a local comedy showcase featuring mainly women comics, started by two local female comedians. It’s at Cactus Club in Bay View, usually the last Thursday of every month (unless there’s a conflicting show) at 9:00 pm. It’s free, but with a suggested $3.00 donation at the door.”
Wes and The Stand-up at Mikey’s
Posted by Beth Lewinski on November 20, 2009
Across from Cathedral Square Park and just a few feet from Louise’s and Real Chili sits Mikeys, a restaurant and lounge offering a variety of food and cocktail options, in a comfortable, classy setting. Inside of Mikey’s is the Skylight Room, and there, almost one-year ago, local comedian Wes Shaver started The Stand-up at Mikey’s Skylight Room, a Stand-up, Improv and Sketch venue that’s rapidly becoming a hot spot to enjoy a night of cocktails and comedy. Milwaukee Comedy sat down with Wes to learn more.
