Long Island Made
The Everyday, Turned Up Loud
Nick Alex grew up an only child on Long Island, where he started noticing the small, aggravating stuff nobody else seemed to say out loud — and figured out it was funnier to just say it. His stand-up works from the same territory as the Long Island comics who came before him, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David: petty grievances turned into specific, relatable observation, delivered with a kind of practiced exasperation.
What sets Nick apart is how many people already know him before they ever see him live. Clips, sketches, and podcast episodes have added up to millions of views, and that following shows up primed to laugh. He also hosts “That’s A Shame with Nick Alex,” a podcast built on the same candid, tell-it-like-it-is instincts that anchor his stand-up.
He’s bringing that act to West Bend for one night only, joined by fellow New York comic LizaBanks Campagna, who splits her time between the stage and leading tours through Grand Central Terminal and The Met — background that turns up in her own material, a mix of cultural commentary and on-the-ground New York City storytelling.
