MILWAUKEE, WIS – Milwaukee Comedy is very excited to announce the headliner for the 10th annual Milwaukee Comedy Festival, Brian Posehn on Sunday August 9 at 8pm. Posehn has done it all: stand up, movies, TV, comic books, even music, and today we are proud to say he will now be part of the Milwaukee Comedy Festival family. “Every year we expand the reach of this event and every year I think; ‘How will we top ourselves?’ said Matt Kemple, festival Founder and Producer. “This year we’ve certainly done it, and it’s a perfect way to celebrate 10 years of funny”.

This show is the result of a new partnership between Downtown Milwaukee’s Historic Turner Hall  and Milwaukee Comedy.
