One of Milwaukee’s hilarious contributions to sketch comedy – the all-female troupe, broadminded – gave its first performance at the very first Milwaukee Comedy Festival in 2006. Both the event and the performers have come a long way since. Following its appearance at the Austin Sketch Fest in May and its June show, Blood is Thicker than Liquor, broadminded’s cast of Anne Graff LaDisa, Melissa Kingston, Stacy Babl and Megan McGee is scheduled to take the stage in the 7:30 p.m. slot on Friday, Aug. 5, – Day 2 of the four day Comedy Fest, at ComedySportz, 420 S. 1st St. Check out this video from last year’s fest for an example of why broadminded is a crowd pleaser that keeps coming back.
Performing in the same time slot as broadminded are standup comic Tyler Kroll, sketch artists Don’t We Boys, and the improv team of International Stinger. Festival tickets range from $15 to $50. To get yours, please click here.
