You’re trying to plan your Saturday night and struggling between going out and seeing some friends and staying home and YouTubing one of your old favorite sitcoms.
Do you socialize, maybe take in some standup comedy or attend live theater? Or do you hibernate, snuggle up to a screen for some nostalgic TV show that’s like comfort food for your funny bone?
Your struggles are over. Because this Saturday, Nov. 14, happens to be Retro Comedy Night, that’s why. So, you’ll be able to go out with your friends to catch live Milwaukee comedy – plus see an episode of an all-time classic TV sitcom performed on stage by Milwaukee actors.
