Your team out of the playoffs? Well, there’s an abundance of comedy in Milwaukee this weekend to take your mind off of it. Get a load of these:
Elect To Laugh! with Will Durst One thing a playoff game will never have is FREE PARKING! On top of that little gem is the five-time Emmy-nominated comedian Will Durst, who returns home to Milwaukee for his one-man show that puts the “mock back in democracy.” The New York Times AND Fox News have both given Durst major props, this one should not be missed!
8 p.m., Friday, Jan. 20, at the brand new Next Act Theatre space,
255 S. Water St. Tickets $20 Click here to buy tickets or call the Next Act box office at (414) 278-0765.
Retro Comedy Night Just like a retired player re-living the glory days of playing quarterback in high school, Retro Comedy Night takes to the stage with “A night of new comedy based on old ideas!” The evening will offer nostalgic audiences standup from Patrick Schmitz, improv from Meanwhile and a surprise retro sitcom performed live on stage.
8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 21, at the brand new Next Act Theatre space, 255 S. Water St. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. Click here to buy tickets or call the Next Act box office at (414) 278-0765.
Inner Conflict with Ryan Lowe Inner Conflict, a brand new stand up comedy special from Ryan Lowe is far beyond the average show. It’s all about quality and innovation. Adding Christy Watson and R. Michael Gull to the mix makes for what’s sure to be high-quality entertainment!
2 Shows, One night only! Friday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at the Miramar Theatre Read more about it here!
Milwaukee Stand Up Showcase Brought to you by the Caste of Killers, a show with two headliners for the price of one: James Ervin Berry and Kenny DeForest, two very funny comedians. Also featuring Luciana Bonafazi, Barry Roberts, Bryon Schmear and Stephen Kohlman. 8:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 20, at the Karma Bar and Grill Yup, more on this here!
The Midnite Show performs every Saturday at ComedySportz at, you guessed it, midnight.
Bye Bye Liver every Saturday at 9 p.m. in the ComedySportz garage.
Plus, ComedySportz has its usual weekend shows. Check that out here.
Frank Caliendo – Another national headliner who, like Durst, graduated from Waukesha South High School, the comic/impressionist is appearing at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Riverside Theater. Click here for tickets of $35.75 or $45.75.
Had your team won on Sunday, you’d be seeing Caliendo on this weekend’s pregame show on Fox Sports. Instead, you have a chance to see that live comedy is more fulfilling.
