Sasha Rosser joins Tony Castañeda and Eli Wilz on the Thursday 8 O’Clock Buzz to talk about her past, present and future. In 2022, Sasha abandoned, to the horror of her mother, her degree in neuroscience and career as a data scientist to found Cheshire Cat Comedy, a production company based in Madison that organizes stand-up and variety shows across Wisconsin. She has been keeping busy, presumably to the great delight of her mother, producing an ever-increasing number of comedy shows. Variety being the spice of life, Rosser’s show range from standup and improvisation to burlesque and comedians performing while eating hot peppers. Eli is hosting her show, Madison’s “sauciest variety show”, Friday, December 8 from 7-8:30 at the Crucible. It will feature not only Mona Montague serving award-winning nerdy burlesque (nerdlesque), but also Leslie Mitchell, who was recently crowned Iowa’s Funniest Person.
