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 Madison Indie Comedy's “Unscripted,” with freestyling comics including David Louis and Nina Davis, Aug. 11) and a trio of events at the Harmony Bar (including Capitol Comedy Hour's first visit to the Harmony stage, Aug. 12). Find the complete schedule and ticket info at madisoncomedyweek.net.

press release: This show is a regular show in Madison produced by Madison Indie Comedy that happens at the Bur Oak and combines standup and improv in the most delightful way possible! Comedians perform both a scripted set of written material, and an improvised standup set with crowd-sourced topics. So if you’ve ever been at a comedy show and wanted to hear jokes about something specific, this is your chance! The nature of this show is something that creates a truly unique show-going experience that simply can’t be matched!

Hosted by Shauna Jungdahl
