Milk and Cookies

Inspired by Andy Kaufman’s legendary special at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1979, “Milk and Cookies” extends the shenanigans of “My Kingdom for a Joke” into an after-show Open Mic at WAU. Come for the cookies and stay for the antics, absurdity and all-round curious behavior that comes with trying to make people laugh. The evening will be hosted by the beloved & hilarious nonsense creatures of Band Practice (Lisa Ullrich and Ash Willison). If you want to perform, drop by spontaneously or sign up in advance at bandpracticeduo@gmail.com for a free ticket to see the Sunday show of “My Kingdom for a Joke”!
