New Brookfield comedy venue announces opening date
Improv Milwaukee, a new venue aimed at improvised and stand-up comedy, has announced an opening date for its new location in Brookfield.
The theater will be located at The Corners of Brookfield shopping center and is owned by Levity Line, a company that already operates over 20 comedy venues around the country. Improv Milwaukee will feature two stages for live performances and provide full food and bar service. The venue plans to highlight local talent through weekly events like open mic nights and scheduled performances. Improv Milwaukee will also host higher-profile comedians on national tours. The name suggests that improv shows, made upon the spot based on feedback from the audience, may not be far behind.
Improv Milwaukee has announced a line-up of guests for its first four months, including some nationally familiar names. The venue will open with a weekend of shows with Steve Byrne, who has recorded five specials across platforms like Comedy Central and Netflix. Future guests include Full House star Bob Saget, who is known for his decidedly more adult stand-up sets; and comedy veteran D. L. Hughley. Shows like this typically use tools like flyer printing and social media to get the word out about big names coming to town.
Improv Milwaukee will open its doors on August 20 for the first performance by Byrne.
