In two years, a human makes the remarkable feat of developing from an immobile, totally dependent being to a toddling wonder who can speak and laugh and dance. Although it’s still not potty-trained, Variety Hour Happy Hour has reached its second birthday.
The Milwaukee-grown sketch comedy show that includes music and interviews has been delighting audiences at the Underground Collaborative, Next Act Theatre and ComedySportz, where it performs at 8 p.m., Friday May 15, in the Farina Arena.
