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 out of Chicago combines hard science presented by researchers who are leaders in their field and pseudo-science presented by comedians trying their best. It is a unique blend of intellectual curiosity and conjecture, and makes for quite a hilarious back and forth. Run by Diya Basrai and Alex Berr of Chicago, this show is sure to have you learning AND laughing, and what more could you really want from a Wednesday night?

Featuring Ken Barns, Sasha Rosser, and more!

Hosted by Diya Basai and Alex Berr

$10 at the door, $7 online in advance.

Madison Comedy Week is sponsored by The Sessions at McPike Park, Comedy on State, Knuckleheads, Graduate Hotels, Camp Trippalindee, Gallant Knight Limousine, Herbal Aspect, Madison Indie Comedy, Ian's Pizza, Brittingham Boats, and Audio For The Arts!
