This week is especially full of laughs all over town, so don’t just support us, go out and see a show or two in your part of town! We present this list of comedy events for your convenience. Live local, Laugh Local!
First up, we are excited to bring you our last two Milwaukee Comedy shows of the year this week!
Milwaukee Comedy presents the Brass Tap Comedy Hour! A free comedy show with a wide variety of beer on tap (80!!) and plenty of laughs at the Brass Tap in Greenfield! With your Host Christopher Schmidt and featuring Greg Bach, Gary Zajackowski, Phil Davidson, and Mario Robinson! The show is this Wednesday December 16th, and it starts at 8:00pm!
Our final comedy show of the year is a new monthly event held at the UC “Milwaukee Comedy Presents…” featuring entertainment from the best comedians around the Midwest. This weekend we are lucky enough to have Zach Peterson grace our stage!
Zach is a top notch comedian with a seriously sarcastic and dark sense of humor that we can not get enough of. He is like the older brother of your best friend who’s kinda hot and listens to Metallica all the time, what is not to love? Zach presents thoughtful and new takes on subjects that are common to us all, but guaranteed to make you laugh. He is a truly talented comedian that we are happy to welcome to The UC. He hails from Chicago, where he has quickly been making a name for himself; he helps run Chicago’s “Best Variety Show” Arguments and Grievances, a comedy debate show that is quickly growing in popularity. When he is not in Chicago, Zach is touring the country with the likes of Dave Ross or Timmy Williams from The Whitest Kids you Know. He is also one of the organizers of the Comedy Exposition of 2014 Chicago’s first DIY stand up festival. In the past he has featured for Joe DeRosa and Matt Braunger for such clubs like Up Comedy Club and The Comedy Attic. We are extremely excited to welcome him this Saturday!
Presale is $10.00 online and $15 at the door. We expect the show to sell out, so get your tickets and we’ll see you there!!
