Stand-up comedy fundraiser for The Badger Project

Standup for The Badger Project: A Comedy Show Fundraiser

MADISON, WI: On Thursday, May 7, 2026, some of Wisconsin's best standup comedians will come together in support of The Badger Project and its independent journalism.

Grab the ticket that fits your budget to see performances by:

Chastity Washington (from BET, Just For Laughs, HBO Comedy Wings Winner)

Chris Calogero (A New York Times Comedian to Watch)

Dana Ehrmann (from the Milwaukee, Floodwater, and Great Spirits Comedy Festivals)

Elijah Holbrook (from the Milwaukee and Cleveland Comedy Festivals)

Hosted by Emily Winter (from The New Yorker, E!, Nickelodeon, and NPR).

BUT WAIT! A fundraiser wouldn't be fun without a light roast of The Badger Project's leader, Peter Cameron. If you've ever met Peter, submit an (anonymous) roast joke when you buy a ticket. Your emcee will choose a few to read between comedy sets. Don't be shy! We promise, he can take it. ;)
