media release: Year in Review is a one-of-a-kind stand-up comedy show in an unconventional downtown Madison venue where the Midwest's funniest comedians take the stage to blend blistering commentary on the highs and lows of 2025 with full comedy sets. Expect irreverent humor, unexpected insights, and a night that turns the year’s chaos into comedy gold.

With a headlining performance by BEN KATZNER:

Ben Katzner is a Minneapolis-based comedian known for his sharp, irreverent humor, showcased in his comedy special "Supple Harlot". He is a producer of the prestigious 10k Laughs Festival, a multi-day event that brings top national and regional comedians to Minneapolis stages. Drawing on his small-town Minnesota upbringing and personal experiences, Katzner blends honest storytelling with silly insights, making him a standout voice in the city’s comedy scene and beyond. Ben’s debut graphic novel, Hello, My Name is Poop, was published by Wonderbound Books in 2021, and his work can also be seen in places like Insider, Buzzfeed, and The National Lampoon Network.
