Her work is best described as smart\, dark and deeply personal.Eric Smith is a young Milwaukee comic who talks about his family\, education\, and his job in delivery service; delivers jokes as well.Piers Moreton is a British Comedian/Writer from London living in New York. He’d like to think he’s the bizarre lovechild of Hugh Grant\, and Bill Burr\, but he’s not as handsome as the former\, or funny as the latter. Piers desperately wants to come to Milwaukee\, so he can find Bud Selig\, and tell him how he ruined baseball. Bud needs to hear it from an Englishman. Thank you for reading this far. Tallyho!Adam Yenser is a comedian and Emmy Award-winning writer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he stars in the recurring segment “Kevin the Cashier Played By Adam.” He has appeared on Conan\, FOX Laughs\, and The Greg Gutfeld Show.

SUMMARY:MCF Sun 3pm Show
DESCRIPTION:You’ve had your Laughing Lunch\, so it’s time to head over to The UC for an amazing show with host Tok Moffat (Chicago)\, Marne Litfin (New York City)\, Jamal Russell (Washington DC) and headliner Ryan Mason (Milwaukee) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTok Moffat is originally from South Africa and not your stereotypical African. A Chicago transplant\, Tok grew up on the mean streets in the suburbs of Washington\, DC. Tok uses his comedic style of being witty\, introspective and relatable to his experiences growing up as the “weird” foreign kid\, and sounding like Carlton Banks among other challenges with fitting in to stand-up.Marne Litfin is a New Yorker by birth and Berliner by sheer force of will\, Marne Litfin is difficult to spell but easy to Google. Marne’s dry observations and stories have taken them around the world to Folsom Europe\, Stockholm Fringe\, and the Berlin Burlesque Festival.

SUMMARY:MCF Fri 10pm Show
DESCRIPTION:The first of three late night shows over the course of the MCF at The UC with some of the best comedic talent from the Midwest featuring Host Samantha Berkman (Chicago)\, Drew Flagge (Milwaukee)\, Mike Jonjak (Madison) and headliner AJ Grill (Milwaukee). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamantha Berkman is a Chicago-based stand up comedian and writer for The A.V. Club TV Show on Fusion. Her weekly stand-up showcase\, CAMP: A Comedy Show\, was recently featured in Chicago Magazine\, Time Out Chicago\, and Vulture.Drew Flagge is just a simple Milwaukee boy humbly and dutifully hosting 2 open mics and easily the best comedy show in the city called Insult & Battery (Cited source: Andrew J Flagge) I only work a blue collar job for the sake of the bit and so I can use my experiences in my skits\, I’m somewhere in between Tupac and Daniel Day Lewis.. Louis? I don’t have time to fact check the spelling too busy living!Mike Jonjak is scary funny. Always unique\, unpredictable and above all hilarious. Mike’s miserable attempts to better understand this thing we call life are filtered through a lens of sour cynicism but with a vulnerability and sweetness that is just a cover for the crippling depression. He produces/hosts a monthly showcase at Octopi Brewing and the stand up/panel hybrid extravaganja show High Concept.AJ Grill is a standup comedian currently residing in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. An Iowa native\, AJ started his comedy journey at the age of 21 while attending college in Iowa City\, Iowa. After moving to central Wisconsin to finish a meaningless bachelor’s degree\, AJ continued to develop his craft working clubs\, colleges\, and bars all before graduating from college in 2015. AJ Returned to Iowa and won the 2016 Penguins Comedy Club ‘Funniest Person in Iowa Contest.’ His comedy is a mix of humorous personal tragedy\, silly wordplay\, sprinkled with the occasional rant about respecting large bodies of freshwater.
