Comedy Tonight

Need a good laugh after a long week? How about some tips to spruce up your home once spring finally arrives? We bring you all that and much more on this week’s Racine & Me.

The crew from ComedySportz gives us a sneak peek at their upcoming show in Racine. Two of the “actletes” explain how they got their start in improv comedy, what you can expect when you sit down for a comedic match, and why the audience plays a key role.

ComedySportz Improv

CBS 58 Morning News anchor Jessica Tighe joins the ComedySportz team for an improv match in the studio! See what the group comes up with for the surprise theme: Getting Hitched At Miller Park. This “story” match is just one example of what you'll see at Comedy Tonight at the Racine Theatre Guild on Saturday, March 16^th.

Home & Garden Show + Chocolate Extravaganza

Two shows in one day! Burlington High School will be packed on Saturday, March 16th for the Home & Garden Show and Chocolate Extravaganza.
