With a second Trump presidency upon us, and rising right wing attacks on LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, voting rights and more, we need progressive laughs now more than ever. That’s why we’re excited to present Laughing Liberally Milwaukee, a monthly progressive political comedy show featuring Milwaukee’s top liberal and progressive comedians.
Laughing Liberally Milwaukee is hosted by comedian, cartoonist and satirist Matthew Filipowicz. Matthew’s work has been featured by CNN, NPR, PBS, HBO, BBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, the Nation, the London Times, Ain’t It Cool News, and the Huffington Post. Matthew also hosts the creatively titled Laughing Liberally Milwaukee Podcast.
Comedians on the May 9th bill include Brian Green, Luise Noe, Justin Frisque, Lisa Quam, and sketch comedy troupe The Accountants Of Homeland Security.
In addition to some of the finest progressive comedians Milwaukee has to offer, each Laughing Liberally Milwaukee features a special interview with a local activist, journalist, or political figure. This month’s guest is José Ramírez from the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement.
Laughing Liberally Milwaukee takes place monthly with the next show occurring on Saturday, May 9th at 8 p.m. at the CSZ Milwaukee, 420 South 1st Street, Milwaukee, WI. Admission is $8. More info and advance tickets can be purchased at https://laughingliberallymke.com.
