event Milwaukee Comedy Festival

Several years before he began appearing regularly in supremely shitty comedies, Robert De Niro starred in The King Of Comedy. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film features De Niro as a hacky and tacky stand-up comic named Rupert Pupkin, a guy so desperate for a break in showbiz that he ends up kidnapping a Johnny Carson-esque late-night talk-show host played by Jerry Lewis. If there’s a lesson here, it’s that breaking into comedy is anything but a barrel of laughs, which is why the hundreds of comedians taking part in the Milwaukee Comedy Festival need all the help they can get. The Next Act Theatre building plays host to this year’s fest, which will feature multiple shows of stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy spread out over nine days. Here’s hoping the participants never have to resort to a felony in order to get another gig.
