We’re back at The UC for a powerhouse show with some of the hottest comics in the Midwest and LA featuring Host Craig Smith (Madison), Raegan Niemela (Milwaukee), Ramie Makhlouf (Minneapolis) and headliner Lisa Curry (Los Angeles) 

Craig Smith is originally from Chicago but has lived in Madison for 14 years. He started doing comedy two years ago and this year was voted into the Top 5 of Madison Funniest Comic and has hosted at the Comedy Club on State.

Raegan Niemela is just trying to figure it all out. She eats a breakfast burrito every Friday. She doesn’t know how she feels about scrunchies coming back. She knows what she needs to do to function as a person, she just doesn’t want to do it. “Actions have consequences,” you say. “But just like, what if they didn’t?” She retorts with a full glass of whiskey at 11pm on a school night.

Ramie Makhlouf is the cohost of “Mackey & Judd with Ramie” in The Twin Cities. While hosting of the number one sports talk radio show, “The Big Show”,  he was also a mainstay on the Milwaukee comedy scene with anecdotes about growing up Arab American, his father’s unique but effective way of showing love, and how his love life reminds him of Camelot. 

Lisa Curry is an internationally touring comedian and TV writer whose career began as part of Second City Hollywood’s house improv ensemble. In May of 2018, she was the first American invited to perform at the prestigious Mach Comedy Festival in Machynlleth, Wales, where she sold out her headlining show. Lisa has worked as a creative on ad campaigns for both Amazon and Comedy Central and was recently profiled by PBS for their series, “Angeleno”. She has also written for Mtv, Fuse, and TruTV, where she wrote for their hit show, ‘Comedy Knockout’. Her work is best described as smart, dark and deeply personal.
