Fresh Faces Showcase

With more than 25 events, Madison Comedy Week offers the opportunity to really dive in to the regional stand-up scene, and also enjoy some talented visitors as well. The fest opens with a night headlined by a very funny visitor: New York based Jacob Williams, whose low key one-liners poke a lot of fun at his personal foibles (8 p.m., Aug. 4, Bur Oak). Intriguing showcases include an evening featuring nine local stand-ups who are producing/hosting shows during the fest (7 p.m., Aug. 5, Bur Oak) and “Tight Fives on State,” a curated incarnation of Comedy on State’s weekly open mic featuring comedians from all around the U.S. (9 p.m., Aug. 7). Find the full schedule and tickets at madisoncomedyweek.com.
