Late Late Breakfast
To everything there is a season, and summer in Madison in recent (non-pandemic) years has included a season for your face to hurt from laughing. Madison Comedy Week returns in 2021 bigger and better than ever, with almost 30 events over eight evenings at The Bur Oak, The Rigby and several other venues. The second half of the week includes headlining sets during the Pursuit of Happiness Session at McPike Park by Kevin Bozeman (9:30 p.m., Aug. 6) and Mary Mack (9:30 p.m., Aug. 7). Other highlights include the return of Madison expatriate Martin Henn for an album recording set (9 p.m., Aug. 6, The Rigby) and a visit by Late Late Breakfast with hosts Tyler Jackson and Danny Maupin with a host of local comics (3 p.m., Aug. 8, The Bur Oak).
