Roast Battle Milwaukee

Comedy fans better be rested and ready, because Madison Comedy Week is back Aug. 3-9. The fest is establishing a residency of sorts at the Bur Oak, which will host a pair of shows doubling as tapings for comedy specials, by Andrew Wegleitner (Aug. 3) and David Schendlinger (Aug. 8), as well as the return of the Madison Area Comedy Awards (Aug. 4), Deanna Ortiz’s stand-up/storytelling show “Funny Sl*t” (Aug. 6), and more. But be prepared to jet around town for shows at Comedy on State (including a weekend of performances by Jordan Jensen, Aug. 7-9, and the popular “Tight Fives” showcase on Aug. 5), Camp Tripalindee, North Street Cabaret, Crucible, Roxxy, The Tasting Room in Monona and Seminole Tap in Fitchburg.
