Club Laugh First A preview of what’s coming to West Bend Two sets to watch before you grab seats: one from late-night TV, one from his latest special. Brooks Wheelan Stand-Up on Late Night with Seth Meyers Teenage embezzlement and arguing with conservative parents, straight from the Late Night stage. “Red Lobster IS Fancy” · Alive in Alaska A fan-favorite bit from his 2024 special, on the late-in-life discovery that Red Lobster is not, in fact, fine dining. From Iowa to Studio 8H A Midwestern comic with a national résumé Brooks Wheelan grew up in small-town Iowa and went to college at the University of Iowa before stand-up took him to the coasts. His breakout came fast: in 2012 he was tapped as one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch at the New York Comedy Festival and made a splash as a new face at Montreal’s Just for Laughs. That momentum carried him to NBC, where he spent Season 39 of Saturday Night Live as both a writer and a cast member. Since then he’s done stand-up on Late Night with Seth Meyers and CONAN, taped a half-hour for Comedy Central, and turned up on HBO’s Girls. His debut album, This Is Cool, Right?, reached No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart, and his latest hour, Alive in Alaska, arrived in 2024. Onstage he’s loose, honest and happy to be the butt of the joke. Friday, November 6 he brings that act to a 1929 vaudeville house in downtown West Bend, and the room is small enough that you won’t miss a single face he makes.
