FUBAR
More than 100 comedians gather in Madison for a week of stand-up, improv, roast battles and more — if you’re looking for a laugh, Madison Comedy Week is ready for you. Headlining is British-Jamaican comic Ian Edwards, performing a free show Aug. 13 at the Pursuit of Happiness Sessions at McPike Park. But that show is just one entry point; more than 30 events are set for a variety of venues, with a dozen shows at The Bur Oak (including Madison Indie Comedy's “Unscripted,” with freestyling comics including David Louis and Nina Davis, Aug. 11) and a trio of events at the Harmony Bar (including Capitol Comedy Hour's first visit to the Harmony stage, Aug. 12). Find the complete schedule and ticket info at madisoncomedyweek.net.
press release: This show produced by Local Madison Comedy is modeled after traditionally British panel-style comedy shows with some before and after standup sets as well. Games, gags, twists, tricks, and turns commence during this highly interactive comedy experience with some of the best comedians from the festival joining the panel! Watch as two teams compete for the ultimate prize of nothing, and have a good time in the meantime.
Featuring Ian John, Prateek Srivastava, Carly Malison, David Lonstein, with standup from Nick Lynch and John Egan.
Hosted by Matt Jordan
$10 at the door, $7 online in advance.
Madison Comedy Week is sponsored by The Sessions at McPike Park, Comedy on State, Knuckleheads, Graduate Hotels, Camp Trippalindee, Gallant Knight Limousine, Herbal Aspect, Madison Indie Comedy, Ian's Pizza, Brittingham Boats, and Audio For The Arts!
