SOLD OUT: Stavros Halkias
Comedy on State 202 State St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
If folks had to choose only one fat rascal to keep around, Stavros Halkias would be the people’s champion. This former host of the wildly popular Cum Town podcast is one of the most singular voices in comedy today. The "Fat Rascal" tour brings his wild and naughty, but surprisingly sweet, stand-up to Madison for an entire weekend of debauchery and body positivity. Halkias is so popular they had to add shows to keep up with demand, and it still sold out well ahead of showtime (though, keep an eye on the Facebook event for possible ticket releases). Shows at 7:30 and 10 p.m., Feb. 16-18; and 7 and 9:30 p.m., Feb. 19.
7:30 & 10 pm, 2/16-18 and 7 & 9:30 pm, 2/19, Comedy on State. $45-$35.
