SUMMARY:Pre Kick Off Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, July 31\n7:30pm at Frank’s Powerplant\nPre Kick Off Showcase\n*Special Event!* \nGet warmed up for the marathon of comedy that is the Milwaukee Comedy Festival with the official Pre Kick-Off Stand Up Showcase!  This event will feature some of the best stand up Wisconsin has to offer including host Raegan Niemela and comics Rich D’Amore\, Christopher Schmidt\, Ton Johnson and John Egan. \nAbout the Comics: \nRich D’Amore\nStand Up\,\nMy goal is to save up as many drink tickets as I can. I try to waste everyone’s time with my nonsense and bring as many smiles to as many faces as I can. Getting people to forget their troubles and just laugh. I used to pick my nose and one time almost died a bunch of times. So I’m just loving living. And I’m living my dream. Comedy is The therapy. Amen. \nChristopher Schmidt\nStand Up\, Milwaukee\nChristopher Schmidt is a Milwaukee based comic who writes punchlines to avoid fixating on the inevitable consequences of mortality. A quick-witted misfit with a penchant for misdirection\, the only thing Chris enjoys more than watching an audience try to figure out where his jokes are going is savoring their reaction when he gets there. Mr. Schmidt is the weekly host of Milwaukee’s long running Duck and Cover Comedy Hour and has opened for comics such as Nick Vatterott\, Ben Kronberg\, and Tom Clark. \nTon Johnson\nStand Up\, Milwaukee\nAnton “Ton” Johnson uses his comedy as a platform for the questions people won’t ask and the things they won’t say. Based out of the Milwaukee area\, Ton is quickly making a name for himself throughout the Midwestern and Southern circuits with his versatile material and quick witted delivery\, winning several comedy competitions\, participating in festivals and opening for various headliners. \nJohn Egan (Headliner)\nStand Up\, Green Bay\nJohn Egan is a comedian and a Wisconsin native. He has been doing improv and stand-up since high school. John has been called “one of the most relatable comedians out there today” by his peers\, fellow comedians and club owners /managers. His relatable and tumultuous-yet-lovable style has made him a must-book act in the Midwest \n
