Bio’s for the night:

Host Raegan Niemela runs Jokes & Smokes Comedy at the Uhle’s Tobacco Company in downtown Milwaukee and performs all over the Midwest.

Guest Feature Ricardo Angulo is a stand up comedian who performs all over Chicago. Prior to stand up, Ricardo was trained in improv at The Annoyance and writing at Second City. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, The Big Jewel, and the Whiskey Journal, and he was a co-writer and editor of the book, “Welcome To The Future Which Is Mine”, by (Not) Elon Musk.

Main Feature J Tyler Menz is one sweet pickle. Tyler’s humor draws on his experiences as an elementary school teacher, stories about his family, and his deep contempt of how painfully white he is. He has worked with a wide range of comedians, including Darryl Lenox, Neil Hamburger, and Andy Kindler, and has toured as the featured act for Christopher Titus, Todd Barry, and Steve-O (which was cool because they have matching tattoos). In addition to performing stand-up, Tyler produces and hosts many shows in the Milwaukee area including The Goodnight Milwaukee Show (sketch), Voyager (improv), and the Visitors Guide to Springfield podcast. He has also been seen performing at The Milwaukee Comedy Fest, Van’s Warped Tour, The 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival, The Cream City Comedy Festival, and Gilda’s Laughfest. Tyler enjoys kale, farmers markets, his 1997 Hyundai Sonata, and reassuring people that he isn’t a snitch. Seriously, guys, he is not a snitch.

Headliner Rachel Mac is a writer and comedian currently based in Milwaukee after almost a decade of performing in Los Angeles. She is a Paid Regular at The Comedy Store and has been on Comedy Central’s Lights Out with David Spade, both doing stand-up and as a panelist. Rachel worked as a writer for The Movie Show, a late-night comedy sketch show on SyFy, which stars two puppets. She co-wrote and co-starred in an Instagram sitcom, The MacBlakes. She is also, for better or worse, a middle school English teacher. She writes about comedy, teaching, and motherhood on her substack “A Star is Dying,”.
