After two and a half years without live shows due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to announce that Laughing Liberally Milwaukee, a monthly progressive political comedy show featuring Milwaukee’s top liberal and progressive comedians, IS BACK! And with Wisconsin’s most embarrassing politician, Covid-denier / Capitol riot-supporter Ron Johnson, battling to keep his Senate seat, we need progressive laughs now more than ever.

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 November 5th bill include Ton Johnson, Jen Durbent, Marcos Lara, Kaitlin McCarthy 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 the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, Tanya Atkinson.
