Milwaukee Record’s top 2014 comedy

Congratulations to The Underground Collaborative. The home of Milwaukee Comedy was the venue of two of the “15 best comedy shows we saw in 2014,” as declared by Tyler Maas, in the Milwaukee Record.

Tyler cited:

Johnny Pemberton and Josh Fadem, who appeared at The UC June 21

We were fortunate enough to be among the 25-30 who turned  up at the Underground Collaborative on the longest day of the year to see a pair of relative unknowns shock, awe, and vehemently entertain the sparse crowd during the Milwaukee stop on their “Summer Boys Do It!” tour.

Alt-comic Nick Thune’s Wednesday night appearance on the stage of The Underground Collaborative (the Grand Avenue Mall’s premier source for intentional comedy) could have easily brought a few hundred people out to Turner Hall or sold out a weekend at Milwaukee’s Comedy Cafe. That’s what makes Thune’s outing before 90-some people all the more special.

for some thoughtful reminders of the memorable comedy Milwaukee hosted in 2014. And stay tuned for all the memories that 2015 has in store.

Most of all, congratulations to Milwaukee for the addition of the Milwaukee Record, which has helped make 2014 a very good year.
