Killer comedies

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, which means an open mic standup competition at Milwaukee’s Comedy Café.

From Facebook: “8 up-and-coming comedians compete for the night’s top spot which earns them some cash and the opportunity to open up at a regular weekend show for a nationally-touring comic.”

The show starts at 8 p.m. at 615 E. Brady St. And it’s free.

As always, it’s hosted by Caste of Killers Comedy Collective and its  funny-in-his-own-right founder Damon Millard.

Performers who want to get in on this monthly show should email Damon at damon@cokcomedy.com.

And to see more experienced comics, get to the Caste of Killers’ twice-monthly showcase at Karma Bar and Grill. That’s at 8:30 p.m. Friday, June 1, at 600 E. Ogden Ave. The cost is $5 online by clicking hereor $10 at the door.

The lineup includes Lara Beitz, who recently won a month-long competition for a featured slot in the 7th annual MilwaukeeComedy Festival, Aug. 3-11. Also featured are
