Find a clever, likable guy, dress him in a suit and tie, stand him in front of an audience, then seat him behind a desk beside a couch. That’s your basic formula for late-night talk shows.
Here’s the twist. Find two clever, likable guys, dress them, stand them both in front of an audience and seat them in separate desks. Then you’ve got the Goodnight Milwaukee Show, with Jake Kornely and Tyler Menz.
First Jake and Tyler charm you with their opening monologues. Then they entertain you with intelligent comedy sketches, improvised interviews with guest celebrities and even some games.
These guys are a hoot, with a wonderful ensemble cast and brilliant support. Goodnight Milwaukee is way more fun than sitting home and doing whatever you’d end up defaulting to on a Saturday night in Milwaukee. And it’s only $5 in advance; $7 at the door.
Goodnight Milwaukee: 9 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 27
You’ll find it in the Arcade Theatre, 161 W. Wisconsin Ave., lower level.
And before the late-night show, in the same space, you can experience The Grand Comedy Hour. Because the Arcarde Theatre is in the Grand Avenue shopping center. Get it?
From Facebook:

The Grand Comedy Hour: 7:30 p.m., Saturday Sept. 27
