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: You were taught cannabis was harmful. Now you know better. Now you watch comics attempt to perform while hopelessly high. Then you get to ask them what the heck they were talking about.

Come get on your high horse with Mike and the performers who put their brains through hell for your entertainment. This time, in partnership with Madison Comedy Week!
