It’s getting to the point where the only thing we can do is laugh.
There’s never been a better time for humor, and there are plenty of opportunities in the Fox Valley — both in person and through online shows featuring talented comedians from our region.
Highlights in August include Damon Wayans Jr, who will perform mid-month at Skyline.
De Pere’s Green Room is still a month out from in-person performances, though its ComedyCity team has a big month of August in store for online viewers. Its Rogue Comedy Month events will carry a variety of themes through August weekends.
And while we’re still mourning the loss of Oshkosh’s Backlot Comedy House, its crew continues to livestream shows on Facebook and YouTube on Friday and Saturday nights at 9 p.m. Watch and make sure to leave a tip in the virtual jar.
