8:00 pm – 8:30 pm: Roast of Milwaukee – Official Pre-Kickoff Event!

Milwaukee Record’s long-running “Roast Of Milwaukee” event is back! Like previous years, the event—which is done in association with the Milwaukee Comedy Festival—will feature a stacked cast of local comedians gently (or, in some cases, viciously) making fun of our fair city. This year’s Roast Of Milwaukee will take place at The Cooperage on Monday, September 30. Tickets are on sale NOW.

This year’s event hosted by TMJ4’s James Groh and features a wide range of locally-sourced Roasters including Dana Ehrmann, AJ Grill, Luise Noé, Syed Hasnain, Elijah Holbrook, Caitlin Baratti, as well as a few extra special surprise guests dropping in to take some swipes at the city.

And the laughs won’t just be at the expense of Milwaukee. A portion of the show’s proceeds will be donated to Milwaukee Women’s Center. Event sponsors Lakefront Brewery and Great Lakes Distillery will have beverages on special all night long.

Tickets—which are limited to just 200!!!—are $18 in advance and $24 at the door. The fun starts at 7:30 p.m (doors at 6:30 p.m.). We’ll see you there!
