Comedy Show -Three Bridges Distillery & Taproom- Midland

This show brought to you in part by PIZZA BAKER and STREETER BROTHERS CONCRETE.

Your headliner is the one and only Bill Bushart! Bill is a force of nature on stage—Detroit’s own “King of Blue Comedy”. His style? Raw, animated, and unapologetically bold. That “bitter pill to swallow” brand of humor he proudly owns isn’t just a tagline—it’s a promise of comedy that’s sharp, fearless, and unforgettable. He’s not just a local legend either. From radio spots on Drew & Mike and WJR 760 to appearances on FOX TV, Bushart’s voice has echoed far beyond Michigan. Sharing stages with icons like Greg Geraldo, Lisa Lampanelli, and Gilbert Gottfried, he’s earned his stripes as a headliner across the country. And if you’re wondering what it’s like to see him live—imagine a drill sergeant with a wicked sense of humor, commanding the room with high-octane energy and a barrage of punchlines that leave no topic untouched.

Also featuring Pam Krugman! Pam has performed at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, opened at One Night Stans (Waterford, MI), Detroit House of Comedy, Funny Bone Comedy Club (Toledo), The Taurus (Miami), Pallet City Comedy at Locust Cider (Denver), Brewing for Comedy at Craft Heads Brewing (Canada), and won the Comedy Competition at The Beach Tiki Bar & Boil. She graduated from the Improv Program at Go Comedy Improv Theater in April 2023. She is originally from Madison, WI and has resided in Metro Detroit, Michigan for 12 years. She’s pamtastic!

Hosting the evening is Melissa Hager! Melissa is a crowd favorite! Best known as the Funny Farm Girl that’s more excited on stage than a rooster at sunrise. From piggy antics to wise cow wisdom, she turns everyday farm life into belly laughs. With the help of her wildly popular YouTube Channel (MelissaHagerTV) and nearly a hundred thousand followers on TikTok, it's no wonder why audiences are over the moon with Melissa. It doesn't hurt that she is the most requested guest on one of the biggest radio stations in Michigan, either. Melissa is no country bumpkin though. Not only is she funny, but she runs one of the biggest and most successful comedy booking agencies in the Midwest, "The Comedy Series”. She produces and promotes several outstanding comedy venues with the help of her focused and hard-working team of ladies. They are not only uber professional, but also as likable as Melissa. Once you experience a Melissa Hager show, there is no doubt you will be jumping for joy and buzzing like a beehive.
