It’s true that Wisconsin’s Capitol City just crowned Madison’s Funniest Comic not too long ago. Considering it was a Milwaukee stand-up, David Louis, there’s plenty more comedy in the tri-state area than any one person or city could reasonably reign over. Thankfully, Comedy on State has the surfeit of laughs covered with this Best of the Midwest showcase. Plenty of Madison’s own are represented (Olivia Witt, David Schendlinger and Bennett Brown, among others), as well as comedians from Milwaukee and Chicago. Come for the musings on the weathered state of being that comes from living in a flyover state, stay because you already ordered another drink. Shows at 7:30 p.m., May 25; and 7:30 and 10 p.m., May 26-27.

media release: Featuring a handpicked selection of both established and up-and-coming comics, the Best of the Midwest Comedy Showcase sheds a spotlight on some of the best in the local and regional comedy scene. Think the Mic on State on steroids! Lineup is subject to change.
