Recurring Shows
OH, MY!
Half-naughty, half-funny, Oh, My! highlights multitalented performers in its special blend of stand-up and burlesque. Featured comics, dancers, and drag artists have showcased their wide-ranging chops with rap, harmonica, ukulele, fire performance, bellydancing, live loop mixing, and state championship-winning yo-yo tricks. Oh, My! runs on the second Friday of each month at Crucible Madison.
WORDS WITH NERDS
Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge - previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism in Madison, how people misuse statistics, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, how to perform self-surgery, and much, much more. Past presenters span local entrepreneurs, professors, researchers, activists, union organizers, surgeons, engineers, and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.
MAKE AMERICA GAY AGAIN
One of Cheshire Cat Comedy's most popular showcases, MAKE AMERICA GAY AGAIN brings together all-queer lineups of drag and stand-up peformers to — you guessed it — make America gay again.
THE SH!TSHOW
THE SH!TSHOW combines Hot Ones with stand-up at Forward Club, Breese Stevens Field's flamingo-themed soccer club bar space. Embrace the chaos as comedians struggle through their set after eating spicy hot peppers.

Kimchi Fried Comedy
Korean-American comedian and producer Josh Glen cooks up a custom cocktail of comics at Breese Stevens Field's flamingo-themed Forward Club bar space.

COLOR ME FUNNY
Color Me Funny is a stand-up comedy show that brings together a hilarious lineup of the Midwest's best comics at Hotel Indigo in downtown Madison, a former paint factory-turned historic hotel.
Ask an Asshole!
At Ask an Asshole! comedians riff over advice-seeking questions and weird prompts submitted before the show.
Change My Mind
Change My Mind is a comedy debate show where nothing makes sense and no one knows what they're talking about. Comedian debaters face off to present their cases, roast battle style, to a panel of comedian judges. Then the tables are flipped and the judges become the debaters!
