- LAFF IT OFF Entertainment is happy to announce the beginning of the LAFF OFF Comedy Competition! Y’all these are the nights you get to laugh, stare, groan, clap, woot, holler, and keep your table talk to a minimum. The comedy competition will offer comedians an opportunity to bring what they’ve got to the microphone. Since the LAFF OFF competition requires laughter we encourage the friends and family of the comedians to come out to the competition to support all the other comics going on every other Thursday at Danny’s Lounge—although you may woot-and-holler louder for the comedian you rode in the car to get here. This event will be poppin! You’ll be able to judge people and it will actually determine an outcome of a comedian’s self-worth. You will make a funny person very happy or encourage others to keep working on what they love to do—making you LAFF OFF your tushies!
Fellow comics and funny people—The LAFF OFF Comedy Competition invites all levels of performers to enter the contest. You’ll be judged based on your style, material, performance, and originality. The audience and special judges will determine the night’s hottest comedian. The winner will be awarded a $75 cash prize. So if you’re doing it for the first time, been doing it for a while, or just need some extra cash to pay your bar tab then it’s time to LAFF IT OFF. If interested in stepping up to this microphone to prove you’ve got what it takes to make a room laugh at you (with your pants still on) then hit us up atLaffitoffent@gmail.com for more information about getting some stage time.

Karma Bar and Grill, 600 E. Ogden ave, Milwaukee
(MAP)
- It's the launch of Milwaukee's newest comedy open mic. A great, supportive atmosphere where comics encourage other comics to grow. Take advantage of this. There's never a need to take a comedy class; stick around after the open mic and buy your favorite comic a beer and they will spill the tricks of the trade faster than....(insert prostitute joke)! Karma is also a really great place to grab some grub and have a drink as you wait to hit the stage. How does it work? Well quite honestly...we don't know yet. We will shape the open mic as we go and use all suggestions and ideas to form an A-level open mic for Milwaukee. Everybody is welcome to perform. Get there by 7:30 to sign up! www.cokcomedy.com
