Milwaukee Improv Wants Local Talent, Line Cooks

BROOKFIELD, WI — Brookfield’s new comedy venue is searching for comedians and dish washers.

Milwaukee Improv will host a job fair at its new venue location at the Corners of Brookfield, 20110 Lower, Union St., from 12-5 p.m. from July 30-Aug. 1.

The new venue is looking to fill 60 positions, including door hosts, box office attendants, AV technicians, servers, bartenders, food and drinks runners, line cooks and dish washers, Improv said in a statement. Potential candidates can send their resumes directly to Improv’s recruiting department, it added.

Improv is also searching for local comedians to perform during showcases and open mic nights in the late fall, Improv said. Interested local comics can send a five to 10 minute reel of their standup work directly to the talent manager, it added.

“Some of the funniest and most successful comedians to date started as bartenders and food runners at their local comedy clubs, and we want to find like-minded individuals, who appreciate the stand-up space, to join our Improv family,” Milwaukee Improv general manager Jayk Burczyk said. “At Improv, fostering up and coming comedians is a huge part of our mission and we can’t wait to grow with our local talent in the area.”

The 13,049-square-foot, 400-seat venue will open Aug. 20. Milwaukee Improv has racked up a line of talent like Bob Saget, Melissa Villaseñor and D.L. Hughley for its summer and fall shows since June.
