Hot Mess High
High school equals high comedy! Wander the halls of Hot Mess High, full of all the jocks, popular kids, burnouts, nerds, and hapless grownups you remember. We wouldn't want to go back to high school, but it's pretty fun to visit.
Action News Tonight
Fake News ain't got nothing on us, because this is ALL made up! Brought to you by the best IMPROVISED NEWS TEAM in Milwaukee! We've got the coverage you can count on across crime, entertainment, traffic, sports, weather, and even the "feel-good" news!

Campeonas
Saturday, September 26th│7:30pm
Stand-Up Comedy, in Spanish!
With Raquel Maldonado and Eliana La Casa!
The show is 100% performed in Spanish
Comediantes Raquel Maldonado de Venezuela (campeones de béisbol) y Eliana La Casa de Argentina (subcampeones de fútbol y campeones de todo lo demás).
Dos mujeres hablando de aquello de lo que no tienen ni idea. Y esta vez, ustedes también van a demostrar cuánto no saben. Nadie sale del show sabiendo más de deportes. Pero sí sale sabiendo cosas que hubiera preferido no saber.
Eliana La Casa trae su comedia filosa y sin filtros, destacada en Comedy Central Latinoamérica y BBC Radio 4, elegida Mejor Comediante de Stand-Up de Chicago por el Chicago Reader, y con la dosis justa de arrogancia argentina que uno esperaría de alguien que realmente se la cree.
Raquel Maldonado es una comediante venezolana experta en convertir malas decisiones en stand-up. Con un estilo ácido, irónico y profundamente honesto, habla de relaciones, cultura, expectativas sociales y todo eso que uno debería procesar en terapia… pero mejor lo dice en un micrófono. Se ha presentado en múltiples ciudades de Estados Unidos, Canadá y Latinoamérica, compartiendo escenario con reconocidos comediantes de la escena hispana.
Buy ahead and save, tickets $25 online, $30 at the door.
*Doors are locked 15 minutes after the show begins.
