It has been almost a month since we first told you that Nick Thune is coming to the Underground Collaborative’s Arcade Theatre.
This Wednesday, he finally arrives.
Here’s what appeared in the Columbia Chronicle about Thune’s Midwest Tour with Doogie Horner, which swerves into Chicago after one night in Milwaukee. The Seattle-based standup explained to the Chicago publication why he’s heading our way:
“I just wanted to travel the Midwest and let them know that us people on the coast are thinking about them,” Thune said. “We know that the winter’s coming and they’re having a hard time, and we’re here for them if they need us. It gets hard being in 80 degree weather all day, so for me coming out there really grounds me a little bit.”
Thoughtful, folksy, with his unique style of scoring his routines accompanying himself on guitar, Thune is providing Milwaukee comedygoers a chance to enjoy him in an intimate setting.
Milwaukee’s own Allison Dunne also is performing.
Nick Thune, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 1, $14 tickets here
The Arcade Theatre is in the lower level of 161 W. Wisconsin Ave.
