  • Comic Spotlight 3: Chris Schlichting

    Recently Headlining at The Comedy Cabin in Janesville Wi. We had a blast on this spotlight episode with Chris diving into everything from his origins to interest in the Paranormal. 

    Growing up on the mean streets of Iowa, Chris Schlichting knew that he either had to take up standup comedy or join the notorious Midwest gang known as “The Farmers.” He is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best comics on the planet, and by “planet” we mean “his street.” Described as “hilarious” by his mom, and “not good at sports” by his dad, Chris takes pride in his immature and lovable style.

  • TNEP Comic Spotlight 2: Jared Porter

    Jared Porter is a rising star in the Madison, Wisconsin comedy scene. With his quick wit, clever jokes, and charming stage presence, he has been making audiences laugh and winning over fans with every performance. Standing tall with long hair and a beard, Jared has a distinct look that matches his unique style of comedy. He is a master at weaving personal stories and observations into his sets, making each performance feel intimate and relatable.

    Last year, he showed the world what he was capable of when he finished in the top 5 of Comedy on State's yearly competition, and hopes to be crowned Madison's funniest and join a short list of elites from our State.

    Jared has also had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the biggest names in comedy, including Shane Torres, Jay Chandrasekhar, and Phil Hanley. His ability to hold his own in the company of such established and talented comedians speaks volumes about his skill and potential.

  • TNEP Comic Spotlight 1: Alex Savant
    Quickly climbing through the ranks of comics in the state-line area, Alex has found a voice that sounds just as comfortable shouting over a pool hall jukebox as it does delivering biting satire in the area's most historic theaters. This stiff upper lip style follows in the working class traditions of Pryor and Carlin - critical but not thoughtless, unabashed but not crass.
