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 a visit by New York City-based Would You Rather on Aug. 10) and a trio of events at Comedy on State (hosting a comedy special taping by Jake Snell on Aug. 10). Find the complete schedule and ticket info at madisoncomedyweek.net.

press release: This show is a regular staple of the Madison Comedy Week festival and celebrates our most decorated seasoned veterans of comedy. These folks have put blood, sweat, and tears into this noble pursuit of making a career out of laughter, and the results will definitely show. Come laugh with us, and enjoy the labor of some of our festival’s funniest comics.

Featuring Esteban Touma (Comedy Central, NPR), Yoni Heisler, Charlie Kojis, Nick Lynch, David Schendlinger, and Raegan Niemela. Hosted by Shawn Vasquez
